As of February 2010, satellite carriers are required to carry ALL available local HD stations (network and non-network) in at least 15% of all markets where they carry any local station in HD.
This threshhold increases to 30% in February 2011, 60% in February 2012 and 100% in February 2013. The rule does not require all markets to be carried in HD, but if any station in the market is carried in HD, all HD stations in that market must be carried in HD. | ||||||||||
