Sec. 76.101  Cable syndicated program exclusivity: extent of protection.



    Upon receiving notification pursuant to Sec. 76.105, a cable 

community unit located in whole or in part within the geographic zone 

for a syndicated program, the syndicated exclusivity rights to which are 

held by a commercial television station licensed by the Commission, 

shall not carry that program as broadcast by any other television 

signal, except as otherwise provided below.



    Note: With respect to each syndicated program, the geographic zone 

within which the television station is entitled to enforce syndicated 

exclusivity rights shall be that geographic area agreed upon between the 

non-network program supplier, producer or distributor and the television 

station. In no event shall such zone exceed the area within which the 

television station has acquired broadcast territorial exclusivity rights 

as defined in Sec. 73.658(m) of this Chapter. To the extent rights are 

obtained for any hyphenated market named in Sec. 76.51, such rights 

shall not exceed those permitted under Sec. 73.658(m) of this Chapter 

for each named community in that market.
