Description

In Living Will Center v. NBC Subsidiary (KCNC-TV), Inc., 857 P.2d 514 (Colo. App. 1993), the court of appeals held that a television station and one of its reporter's*fn1 broadcasts concerning a product marketed by the Living Will Center (LWC) implied material assertions of fact capable of verification and thus, the telecast was not constitutionally privileged speech in an action for defamation. We granted certiorari to determine: (1) whether that holding is in accord with the applicable precedent of the United States Supreme Court and this court; and (2) whether the court of appeals erred in failing to review the trial court's determination that the substance and gist of the broadcasts was true and if so, if that determination was correct.*fn2 We reverse and remand with directions.
