Commission rules require television
stations, broadcast television stations and program distributors to
notify cable television system operators of non-duplication
protection and exclusivity rights being sought within prescribed
limitations and terms of contractual agreements. These various
notification and disclosure requirements are to protect
broadcasters who purchase the exclusive rights to transmit
syndicated programming in their recognized markets.
