§  76.95   Exceptions.

   (a) The provisions of § § 76.92 through 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.

   (b) Network non-duplication protection need not be extended to a higher
   priority station for one hour following the scheduled time of
   completion of the broadcast of a live sports event by that station or
   by a lower priority station against which a cable community unit would
   otherwise be required to provide non-duplication protection following
   the scheduled time of completion.
