United States First Circuit

Because there was no showing, on tortious interference claim, that defendant intended to interfere with plaintiff's contract(s) knowing that such interference would cause injury to plaintiff, or that defendant acted in bad faith, lower court's determination that plaintiff would likely succeed on the merits lacked adequate evidentiary predicate, and preliminary injunction barring defendant from broadcasting on a particular Signal ID in Puerto Rico vacated and case remanded for further proceedings.
