Significantly viewed signals permitted to be carried 47 U.S.C. § 340 or Significantly Viewed list (SV) is a federal law permitting television stations as determined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), to be carried by cable and other MVPD providers outside of an assigned Nielsen designated market area (DMA). The legislation was passed to help protect viewers living in areas near market boundaries from losing local television stations that have significant viewership from outside of their market. Additionally, the law also allows for carriage of local foreign stations in markets along international borders.
