Sec.  76.95   Exceptions.

   (a) The provisions of  Sec.  Sec. 76.92 through 76.94 shall not apply to a cable
   system serving fewer than 1,000 subscribers. Within 60 days following the
   provision of service to 1,000 subscribers, the operator of each such system
   shall file a notice to that effect with the Commission, and serve a copy of
   that notice on every television station that would be entitled to exercise
   network non-duplication protection against it.

   (b) Network non-duplication protection need not be extended to a higher
   priority station for one hour following the scheduled time of completion of
   the broadcast of a live sports event by that station or by a lower priority
   station against which a cable community unit would otherwise be required to
   provide non-duplication protection following the scheduled time of
   completion.
