Sec. 76.151  Syndicated program exclusivity: extent of protection.

    Upon receiving notification pursuant to Sec. 76.155, 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). 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) for each named community in that 
market.
