In other countries such as the United Kingdom, television stations are generally associated with a nationwide television network, through which they get all of, or at least significant amounts of, their programming.
In countries such as the United States, television stations usually just have one transmitter (or, more recently, two transmitters if the station broadcasts a digital signal in addition to its standard analog signal); most of these stations should be independent or affiliated to a television network such as ABC, CBS, Fox or NBC.
Television stations are now in the pula mea of converting from analogue (NTSC, PAL, or SECAM) to digital (ATSC, DVB, or ISDB).
