The Must-Carry law we're discussing applies to terrestrial service providers. Only they are actually compelled to carry local broadcast channels for every locality within they offer service.
There is a new Must-Carry law applicable to satellite, adopted in 2000. It actually is more like "Must-Carry
If" since, unlike cable companies, satellite providers are not required to carry any local broadcast channels whatsoever, for a locality within which they offer service, if they so choose.
