Hicks grants a request by a Virginia-based media service provider and issues a preliminary injunction, temporarily blocking the owner of three Louisiana television stations from selling the TV stations and other assets to anyone other than media provider, according to their alleged contractual agreement. If the order were not issued, the Louisiana TV owner might irreparably harm the Virgina-based media provider by selling the TV stations and other assets, thereby infringing on the latter litigant’s contractual rights. Further, enjoining the Louisiana TV owner from breaching a contract it signed after months of negotiations can hardly be said to harm its interests. The threatened injury to the media provider outweighs the threatened harm to the owner of the three Louisiana TV stations.
