Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 76.94(a) and

program distributors to notify cable 

television system operators of nonduplication protection and exclusivity 

rights being sought. The notification 

shall include (1) The name and address 

of the party requesting non-duplication 

protection/exclusivity rights and the 

television broadcast station holding the 

non-duplication right; (2) the name of 

the program or series for which 

protection is sought; and (3) the dates 

on which protection is to begin and end. 

47 CFR 76.94(b) requires broadcasters 

entering into contracts providing for 

network non-duplication protection to 

notify cable systems within 60 days of 

the signing of such a contract. If they are 

unable to provide notices as provided 

for in Section 74.94(a), they must 

provide modified notices that contain 

the name of the network which has 

extended non-duplication protection, 

the time periods by time of day and by 

network for each day of the week that 

the broadcaster will be broadcasting 

programs from that network, and the 

duration and extent of the protection. 

47 CFR 76.94(d) requires broadcasters 

to provide the following information to 

cable television systems under the 

following circumstances: (1) In the 

event the protection specified in the 

notices described in 47 CFR 76.94(a) or 

(b) has been limited or ended prior to 

the time specified in the notice, or in 

the event a time period, as identified to 

the cable system in a notice pursuant to 

Section 76.94(b) for which a broadcaster 

has obtained protection is shifted to 

another time of day or another day (but 

not expanded), the broadcaster shall, as 

soon as possible, inform each cable 

television system operator that has 

previously received the notice of all 

changes from the original notice. Notice 

to be furnished ‘‘as soon as possible’’ 

under this subsection shall be furnished 

by telephone, telegraph, facsimile, 

overnight mail or other similar 

expedient means. (2) In the event the 

protection specified in the modified 

notices described in Section 76.94(b) 

has been expanded, the broadcaster 

shall, at least 60 calendar days prior to 

broadcast of a protected program 

entitled to such expanded protection, 

notify each cable system operator that 

has previously received notice of all 

changes from the original notice. 

47 CFR 76.94(e)(2) and 76.105(c)(2) 

state that if a cable television system 

asks a television station for information 

about its program schedule, the 

television station shall answer the 

request. 

47 CFR 76.94(f) and 76.107 require a 

distributor or broadcaster exercising 

exclusivity to provide to the cable 

system, upon request, an exact copy of 

those portions of the contracts, such 

portions to be signed by both the 

network and the broadcaster, setting 

forth in full the provisions pertinent to 

the duration, nature, and extent of the 

non-duplication terms concerning 

broadcast signal exhibition to which the 

parties have agreed. Providing copies of 

relevant portions of the contracts is 

assumed to be accomplished in the 

notification process set forth in Sections 

76.94 and 76.105. 

47 CFR 76.95 states that the 

provisions of Sections 76.92 through 

76.94 (including the notification 

provisions of Section 76.94) shall not 

apply to a cable system serving fewer 

than 1,000 subscribers. Within 60 days 

following the provision of service to 

1,000 subscribers, the operator of each 

such system shall file a notice to that 

effect with the Commission, and serve a 

copy of that notice on every television 

station that would be entitled to 

exercise network non-duplication 

protection against it. 

47 CFR 76.105(d) requires that in the 

event the exclusivity specified in 

Section 76.94(a) has been limited or has 

ended prior to the time specified in the 

notice, the distributor or broadcaster 

who has supplied the original notice 

shall, as soon as possible, inform each 

cable television system operator that has 

previously received the notice of all 

changes from the original notice. In the 

event the original notice specified 

contingent dates on which exclusivity is 

to begin and/or end, the distributor or 

broadcaster shall, as soon as possible, 

notify the cable television system

operator of the occurrence of the 

relevant contingency. Notice to be 

furnished ‘‘as soon as possible’’ under 

this subsection shall be furnished by 

telephone, telegraph, facsimile, 

overnight mail or other similar 

expedient means. 

47 CFR 76.106(b) states that the 

provisions of Sections 76.101 through 

76.105 (including the notification 

provisions of Section 76.105) shall not 

apply to a cable system serving fewer 

than 1,000 subscribers. Within 60 days 

following the provision of service to 

1,000 subscribers, the operator of each 

such system shall file a notice to effect 

with the Commission, and serve a copy 

of that notice on every television station 

that would be entitled to exercise 

syndicated exclusivity protection 

against it. 

47 CFR 76.1609 states that network 

non-duplication provisions of Sections 

76.92 through 76.94 shall not apply to 

cable systems serving fewer than 1,000 

subscribers. Within 60 days following 

the provision of service to 1,000 

subscribers, the operator of each system 

shall file a notice to that effect with the 

Commission, and serve a copy of that 

notice on every television station that 

would be entitled to exercise network 

non-duplication or syndicated 

exclusivity protection against it.
