Description
THORNBERRY, Circuit Judge: Appellant, Tri-State Broadcasting Company, a Georgia corporation, instituted this claim for treble damages against appellee, United Press International, asserting that UPI had violated Section 2(a) of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 13, as amended by the Robinson-Patman Price Discrimination Act, 49 Stat. 1528 (1936), 15 U.S.C. § 13(a).Appellant claims in substance that UPI discriminated against appellant by charging it a substantially higher weekly contract price for UPI's news report service than those prices charged to other radio broadcasting stations operating in the same area. The district court dismissed appellant's complaint on the ground that the news information service supplied by UPI did not constitute a ""commodity"" within contemplation of the Act. We agree and affirm.
