TV Station and MVPD Carriage Election Deadline.

Television broadcasters generally must triennially give notice as to whether they are electing mandatory carriage or instead retransmission consent.  This election also must be filed in the broadcaster’s online public file.  Because the FCC adopted new rules in 2019, broadcasters will now email elections to MVPDs (with a carbon copy to ElectionNotices@FCC.gov) and only need do so when changing a carriage election from the previous cycle.
