That's the standard Comcast Boston lineup.

Must-carry only applies to unique program services.  You can't assert
must-carry for both a station and a satellite.

Same here.

Many Canadian stations historically did this, thanks to the regulatory
situation there which guarantees that a local broadcast station will
never be on the same cable channel as OTA.  I can still hear in my
mind ``CFCF twelve, cable eleven''.  ``CFTM dix'' was on 7, CFJP was
on 5.  Not sure about CBFT and CBMT.  In Ontario, a dozen or more
Global transmitters are all seen on cable channel 3.
