[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 785656, member: 82144"] Thanks spachti :thx: So this concept of "franchising" - how does that work? Let's take the example of ABC. Without knowing anything else at this stage I would guess that someone buys the rights from ABC to rebroadcast their content. They buy a broadcast license for a particular frequency slot (AKA channel) in a particular area and get assigned a call sign for that slot.
