(e) assuming the event or series, or the part of the event or series, as the case may be, had been televised live in Sydney--the event or series, or the part of the event or series, as the case may be, is televised, as mentioned in paragraph (a), not later than the local time in that zone that is equivalent to the time at which the event or series, or the part of the event or series, as the case may be, was televised live in Sydney;
the event or series, or the part of the event or series, as the case may be, is taken to be televised live by the licensee in the licence area.
(2) For the purposes of paragraph 146K(1)(c), if:
(a) a commercial television broadcasting licensee has the right to televise live, in the licence area for the licence, a particular designated series of events; and
(b) during a particular period, 2 or more events in that series wholly or partly overlap; and
(c) the licensee televises in the licence area one of those events; and

the event is taken to be televised live by the licensee in the licence area during that period.

Note: For example, interruptions by way of commercial breaks, news breaks, program promotions, announcements or brief crosses to other live events would amount to an insubstantial proportion of the event or series being televised.
(4) If a commercial television broadcasting licensee has a right to televise live a substantial proportion of a designated event, this section has effect, in relation to the licensee, as if that proportion were a designated event in its own right.
(5) If a commercial television broadcasting licensee has a right to televise live a substantial proportion of a designated series of events, this section has effect, in relation to the licensee, as if that proportion were a designated series of events in its own right.
