Well this is a first for me. I was flipping through channels(cox cabel) and ended up on channel 77 with the following message from FCC.
"BLACKOUT FCC rules mandate that this program be blacked-out in your area"
What gives? Even though the sound was present I couldn't understand what was being said. It sounded like a football game and the news played both at the same time

FCC regulations state that when there is a local full power broadcast station within a market … then that broadcaster has the right to enforce two FCCs rules: 1) network non-duplication and 2) syndicated exclusivity rules…
These FCC rules require that cable operators can not carry duplicate stations and that the cable operator must blackout any and all duplicated programming if it exists, on other stations.
