The licensee is authorized to distribute, at its option, WBZ-TV (CBS), WHDH-TV (NBC), WCVB-TV (ABC), WFXT-TV (FOX) and WGBH-TV (PBS) Boston, Massachusetts as part of the basic service. Alternatively, for each network signal, the licensee may distribute the signal of a different affiliate of the same network located in the same time zone as that of the licensed area and included in the Lists of eligible satellite services, as amended from time to time.

The licensee stated that it was requesting this amendment to comply with the Commission's policy as regards the distribution of the four U.S. commercial networks (CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX) and the non-commercial network PBS. Specifically, in Broadcasting Decision 2008-238, the Commission confirmed that, consistent with Broadcasting Public Notice 2003-61, the upgraded high-definition version of the CBS signal distributed by the licensee must correspond with the standard definition version of the CBS signal distributed by the licensee.
