What does Broadcast territory mean?

A broadcast territory is the geographical area addressed by a particular media-rights or distribution arrangement. It is not established merely by a website welcoming visitors worldwide.

Why it matters

Territorial questions concern the actual programme and agreement. A country flag, translated heading or working connection does not prove the relevant rights.
