United States Eighth Circuit

In a case concerning the determination of relationship status between KCRG and Mediacom based upon the parties' communications, the district court's denial of plaintiff's request for a declaratory judgment that its 2005 letter to defendant constituted sufficient notice of termination under the parties' Retransmission Consent Agreement is affirmed where under Iowa law, the letter did not constitute sufficient notice as it did not contain a definite intent to cancel.
