§ 76.1608   System technical integration requiring uniform election of
must-carry or retransmission consent status.

   A cable system that changes its technical configuration in such a way
   as to integrate two formerly separate cable systems must give 90 days
   notice of its intention to do so to any television broadcast stations
   that have elected must-carry status with respect to one system and
   retransmission consent status with respect to the other. If the system
   and the station do not agree on a uniform election 45 days prior to
   integration, the cable system may require the station to make such a
   uniform election 30 days prior to integration.
