The Commission's rules in general provide stations such protection within a station's 35-mile geographic zone.

Under Sections 76.92(f) and 76.106(a) of the Commission's rules, however, a signal otherwise subject to deletion is exempt from application of the exclusivity rules if it is ``significantly viewed'' in a relevant community (the ``significantly viewed exception'').

  • Medford-Klamath Falls, Northland's cable system located in Yreka, California - located less than 55 miles from Medford - must therefore fall within KMVU's protected network non-duplication zone. Therefore, KMVU argues Northland cannot retransmit the network programming of KCVU within that protected zone without violating KMVU's network non-duplication rights. Broadcast station licensees are entitled to exercise non-duplication rights pursuant to Section 76.92 of the Commission's rules in accordance with the contractual provisions of their network-affiliate agreements. However, a cable operator is compelled by law not to carry duplicative programming only ``[u]pon receiving notification pursuant to [Section] 76.94.'' Section 76.94 describes the procedures that a broadcast station must follow to provide notice to a cable system operator in order to perfect its non-duplication
