Campus Televideo (CTV) Retransmission Statement
CTV provides SMATV (Satellite Master Antenna TV) services to over 200 colleges and universities (“Customers”). All of these facilities are considered private because they do meet the FCC definition of a "cable system."
Must Carry Elections
Campus Televideo and its Customers do not operate public “cable systems” and consequently , we are not subject to “Must Carry” elections by local broadcast affiliates. Campus Televideo and its Customers will consider carriage requests on a case by case basis.
Retransmission Consent
Virtually all of Campus Televideo Customers offer cable TV programming on a bulk basis to all end user students at no charge (ie. as a convenience of occupancy) and consequently qualify for exemption from retransmission consent requirements under FCC regulations.
The exemption can be found at 47CFR Part 76.64(e) which provides: “The retransmission consent requirements of this section are not applicable to broadcast signals received by master antenna television facilities or by direct over-the-air reception in conjunction with the provision of service by a multichannel video program distributor provided that the multichannel video program distributor makes reception of such signals available without charge and at the subscribers option and provided further that the antenna facility used for the reception of such signals is either owned by the subscriber or the building owner; or under the control and available for purchase by the subscriber or the building owner upon termination of service.”
