Program Carriage Sample Clauses
The Program Carriage clause defines the terms under which a distributor or platform is permitted to carry and broadcast specific programming content. Typically, this clause outlines the rights and obligations regarding which channels or shows can be included in a service lineup, any restrictions on placement or tiering, and the technical standards for delivery. By clearly specifying these conditions, the clause ensures that both content owners and distributors understand their respective rights and responsibilities, thereby preventing disputes over unauthorized distribution or misplacement of programming.
