(a) The operator, in compliance with current rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission, shall afford full-time, nonduplicated carriage to television stations licensed to the greater Columbus area by the FCC and which go on the air.
(b) It is the intent of this section to require the carriage outlined in subsection (a) hereof, which shall be without the degrading of signals and without deletion of advertising or any material contained in such telecasts, even though the Federal Communications Commission at some future date might amend or even eliminate rules and regulations applicable to carriage and protection of local stations. Therefore, this particular provision shall remain in force so long as there are no laws, rules or regulations prohibiting such carriage, and so long as the operator is not forbidden to do so by the stations involved.
