>The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the lower court ruling on Monday in a 2-to-1 decision, saying that Aereo’s streams of TV shows to individual subscribers did not constitute “public performances,” and thus the broadcasters’ copyright infringement lawsuits against the service “are not likely to prevail on the merits.”

That doesn't say they don't hold copyright over the material. In fact, it implies that they do, since otherwise, whether Aereo is doing a public performance or not would be irrelevant.

It only says they only copyright for those who are doing public performances with the broadcast, and that they don't have copyright on the signal itself.
