Network distribution fees received from MVPDs are recognized as revenue in the period that services are provided.
+Added: With the shut-down of the Azteca America network on December 31, 2022, Broadcast revenues will be driven principally by channel leases and revenue share agreements with some 70 other networks carried on Broadcasting's stations.

Carriage contracts pricing is in part determined by the signal contour of the broadcast station and the number of OTA TV households in a given market, as well as market supply and demand.
−Removed: • As an anchor network tenant, Azteca America is distributed on the Broadcasting platform in 60+ markets.
+Added: Our television stations compete in the U.S.
+Added: domestic media market for multicast network tenants, viewer audiences and advertisers.
+Added: In the last several years, there has been increasing competition from not just cable channels but also streaming services, digital platforms, social media, and internet-delivered video channels.
+Added: These media platforms have taken market share from “over-the-air” (OTA) broadcast stations like ours.
+Added: Full Power stations delivering OTA multicast networks also represent direct competition in all our markets.
+Added: Because our stations are mostly LPTVs and Class A stations, our signal coverage of a market is often less than that of Full Power stations, resulting in a competitive advantage for Full Power stations.
+Added: As a result of improvements in digital compression technology over the last several years, many Full Power stations have increased the number of subchannels that they can lease to OTA multicast networks, resulting in increased competition in many of our markets over the last several years.
+Added: Because nearly all our stations are LPTV and Class A, they do not have primary channel “must carry” rights and, therefore, have no signal coverage and carriage on multichannel video programming distributor ("MVPD") systems.
+Added: Our lack of MVPD distribution materially affects our television stations’ competitive position in attracting programmers and viewers.
+Added: Specifically, MVPD systems can increase a broadcasting station’s competition for viewers in a market by providing both cable networks and distant television station signals not otherwise available to the station’s audience.
+Added: Other sources of competition for audiences, programming and advertisers include streaming services, connected televisions, internet websites, mobile applications and wireless carriers, direct-to-consumer video distribution systems, and home entertainment systems.
+Added: Recent developments by many companies, including internet streaming service providers and internet website operators, have expanded, and are continuing to expand, the variety and quality of broadcast and non-broadcast video programming available to consumers via the internet.
+Added: Internet companies have developed business relationships with companies that have traditionally provided syndicated programming, network television and other content.
+Added: As a result, additional programming has, and is expected to further become, available through non-traditional methods, which can directly impact the number of OTA TV viewers, and, thus, indirectly impact station revenues.
+Added: Government Approvals and Regulation
+Added: Federal broadcasting industry regulations limit our operating flexibility.
+Added: The FCC regulates all local television broadcasters, including us.
+Added: We must obtain FCC approval whenever we (i) apply for a new license;
+Added: (ii) seek to renew or modify a license;
+Added: (iii) purchase or sell a broadcast station license;
+Added: and/or (iv) assign or transfer the control of one of our subsidiaries that holds a license.
+Added: Our FCC licenses are critical to our operations, and we cannot operate without them.
+Added: Our FCC licenses must be renewed every 8 years.
+Added: The current television license renewal cycle began in 2020, and many of our licenses have been renewed, but others remain pending.
+Added: While we cannot be certain that the FCC will renew the remaining licenses or that we will always obtain renewal grants in the future, the FCC has historically renewed the Company’s broadcast licenses in substantially all cases.
+Added: The Company does not believe that the expiration or non-renewal of any of our FCC licenses would have a material adverse effect on the expected future cash flows and profitability.
+Added: The FCC can sanction us for programming broadcast on our stations that it finds to be indecent.
+Added: Over the past several years, the FCC has increased its enforcement efforts regarding broadcast indecency and profanity.
+Added: Additionally, our Full-Power stations and Class A stations are subject to additional FCC rules regarding the airing of mandatory children’s programming and local content.
+Added: While we have measures in place to remain compliant, shortfalls in required programming for Full-Power stations and Class A stations may result in financial penalties levied by the FCC or, in worst cases, the loss of license.
+Added: Federal legislation and FCC rules have changed significantly in recent years and may continue to change.
+Added: These changes may affect our ability to conduct our business in ways that we believe would be advantageous and may impact our operating results.
