Common use of NETWORK PROGRAM AND COMMERCIALS Clause in Contracts

NETWORK PROGRAM AND COMMERCIALS. A. Network will transmit to Station by method reasonably determined by Network, and Station will broadcast on its analog and HD1 facilities, the Commercial Schedules in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the commercials (“Commercials”) listed in the commercial schedules (“Commercial Schedules”) to be delivered by Network to Broadcaster. Station shall broadcast such Commercials in fair and equal rotation within the dayparts as indicated on the Commercial Schedules. Network may from time to time change the Commercials to be broadcast by Station by modifying the Commercial Schedules so long as such modification does not increase the number or placement of such Commercials. Broadcaster is required to monitor Network’s transmission of Commercials in order to receive Network’s changes to the Commercials and to be advised of changes in the Commercial Schedules; provided however that Network shall, simultaneously with any changes made with respect to Networks’ transmission of Commercials, also notify Station by email of any changes in Commercial Schedules at least twenty-four (24) hours before such changes become effective. Station may designate a person to receive such email notices. B. Network will transmit to Station the Programs listed in Exhibit 3 attached hereto (the “Programs”). Station understands and agrees that, except as set forth otherwise on Exhibit 3, the Programs are distributed as a non-exclusive product and shall be distributed by Network as a professional, broadcast-quality program in accordance with prevailing industry standards (“Prevailing Industry Standards”). Station has the right to broadcast any newscast, as well as actualities and special long form coverage, as may be made available by Network in the Programs provided to Station pursuant to Exhibit 3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Broadcaster radio station in Station’s market is an affiliate of CBS Radio News, Station may broadcast the CBS Radio News Program (including CBS Radio News Top-of-the-Hour Newscasts, notwithstanding any exclusivity provision) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Moreover, to the extent that Station or any Broadcaster radio station is an affiliate of CBS Radio News, such station shall have exclusivity in such market with respect to the CBS Radio News Top of the Hour Newscast or substantially similar future newscast of CBS Radio News as against any station in such market not owned by Broadcaster. Station has the discretion as to what Network Programs to broadcast and has no obligation to carry such Programs, subject to the rights of Network in this Section and except as indicated in Exhibit 3. In the event Network ceases to distribute CBS Radio News, Network will provide Station with comparable substitute programming as determined by Network at its reasonable discretion. In the event Network ceases to distribute any Program (other than the CBS Radio News), Network will provide Station with comparable substitute programming as determined by mutual agreement of Station and Network or, at Station’s option, CBS Radio News radio programming so long as Network still has the rights to distribute CBS Radio News (which the parties agree shall be deemed comparable substitute programming). C. Station may preempt Commercials upon advance written notice (which in the case of this Section I(C), the parties agree that electronic mail to individual(s) designated by Network shall suffice for purposes of notice under this Agreement) to Network and solely as follows: (i) for any reason, provided, such occurs on an occasional, non-regular basis only; (ii) in Station’s opinion any Commercial violates any of Station’s written “standards and practices” (to the extent such have been provided by Station to Network in advance and provided such are applied to Network advertisers in the same manner that they are applied to Station’s cash advertisers), technical quality standards or any applicable law, statutes, ordinances or regulation (with subsections (i) and (ii) referred to as “Content Related Preemption”); or (iii) if such Commercials are broadcast during any play-by-play sports programming or NASCAR programming (“Sports Related Preemption”).
