Sec.  76.1601   Deletion or repositioning of broadcast signals.

   Effective April 2, 1993, a cable operator shall provide written notice to
   any broadcast television station at least 30 days prior to either deleting
   from carriage or repositioning that station. Such notification shall also be
   provided to subscribers of the cable system.

   Note 1 to  Sec. 76.1601: No deletion or repositioning of a local commercial
   television station shall occur during a period in which major television
   ratings services measure the size of audiences of local television stations.
   For this purpose, such periods are the four national four-week ratings
   periods—generally including February, May, July and November—commonly known
   as audience sweeps.
