“In conjunction with the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court’s North Texas Division (Merit Street is based in Fort Worth), Merit Street has sued Trinity for breach of contract, claiming the broadcaster, best known for its Christian programming, failed to live up to the terms of their joint venture,” it added.
A Merit Street spokesperson clarified in a statement the company filed lawsuit against Trinity Broadcasting Network for failing to “provide clearly agreed-upon national distribution and other significant foundational commitments critical to the network’s continuing success and viability,” adding that “the suit is part of a restructuring proceeding also initiated by MSM.”
The lawsuit also says Trinity Broadcasting “began to abuse its power as a controlling shareholder” and also caused Merit Street to enter into expensive distribution deals.
