    Explain a must carry

    i was referring to the fact you said that "Satellites do carry subchannels only if they are a full power and on the. 1" my point was that the reason directv carries it is because again its a .1, full power, and they reached an agreement

    Explain a must carry

    Explain a must carry

    the .1 is considered the primary channel like in my market we have 2 stations KXGN 5.1 is the primary channel and carries CBS KXGN 5.2 is the subchannel and carries NBC subchannels are considered -2 and on. so a station that is just a .1 would be one with no subchannels.
