I suspect it's not much different in the way that Britain separates
terrestrial DTV transmitters from content and the way they restrict what
Sky/BSB can do with content.
If I'm not mistaken, that's not done in the U.S., and since broadcast
transmitters are a "voice" under the relevant court cases interpreting the
first amendment, not much likely to be followed here on an involuntary
basis.
There seem to be two basic models of broadcasting in the world. The system
in the United States, Mexico and many other countries has private
broadcasting dominate. The Euro-centric model has -- until the last
decades -- only public or governmental systems dominant. (Italy, starting
in the late 1970's, due to a court ruling, started to break that model.)
Then, there are the "mixed" systems that combine a bit from each model.
Canada and Japan are examples of that, where there are large private
channels, but the government owned systems are large if not dominant
players.

How do the Europeans manage their DAB multiplex transmission systems? That's
a separation of content from broadcasting.
