Abstract: On November 5, 2005, the Commission released a Report and Order adopted the information collections as proposed in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FCC 05-24). The Commission adopted rules to apply network non-duplication and syndicated exclusivity requirements to satellite carriers (carriage of significantly-viewed signals.) 47 CFR 76.122, 76.123, 76.124 and 76.127 are used to protect exclusive contract rights negotiated between broadcasters, distributors, and rights holders for the transmission of network, syndicated, and sports programming in the broadcasters recognized market areas. Rule changes to §§ 76.122 and 76.123 implement statutory requirements to provide new rights for in-market stations to assert nonduplication and exclusivity rights.
