The rights to distribute a program on different media and in different geographies are sold separately. The broadcaster itself is likely not authorized to distribute the show online, so they can't authorize you to do it either.


Much of the programming of the OTA networks are produced in-house. (Previously, it was 100% in-house.)


The advertisers don’t want their content available everywhere. They often do regional promotions they don’t want the rest of the world to have knowledge of.

Nope.

Even in-house programming doesn't mean you're free of underlying copyright issues.
