The legal fight between Al Jazeera America and AT&T will remain under wraps for now. This comes despite a ruling by a Delaware judge lifting the secrecy in their ongoing legal battle.
The lawsuit stems from AT&T’s refusal to carry a news channel launched by Al Jazeera in the United States in August. Al Jazeera sued AT&T claiming the contract between the two was breached and wrongfully terminated by the cable operator.
Both sides said the case should be kept secret, arguing that making such information public would hurt their negotiations with other channels and cable companies.
The appeal could take a year before it is heard and decided.
