Description

ANDERSON, Circuit Judge: This case involves several libel claims stemming from a segment of ABC's ""20/20"" television program which dealt with allegations of corruption in the jai alai industry. We consider two primary issues in this appeal. First, are appellants Arthur Silvester, the Fronton, Inc., and Tourism and Development Corporation (""plaintiffs"") limited public figures? Second, if so, did appellees American Broadcasting Companies, Inc., Hugh Downs, Geraldo Rivera, and Bernard Cohen (""defendants"") act with actual malice in broadcasting the jai alai segment?
