Sec. 73.132 Territorial exclusivity.
No licensee of an AM broadcast station shall have any arrangement with a
network organization which prevents or hinders another station serving
substantially the same area from broadcasting the network's programs not
taken by the former station, or which prevents or hinders another station
serving a substantially different area from broadcasting any program of the
network organization: Provided, however, That this section does not prohibit
arrangements under which the station is granted first call within its
primary service area upon the network's programs. The term “network
organization” means any organization originating program material, with or
without commercial messages, and furnishing the same to stations
interconnected so as to permit simultaneous broadcast by all or some of
them. However, arrangements involving only stations under common ownership,
or only the rebroadcast by one station or programming from another with no
compensation other than a lump-sum payment by the station rebroadcasting,
are not considered arrangements with a network organization. The term
“arrangement” means any contract, arrangement or understanding, expressed or
implied.
