substitution right

English Law/Patents Law (general)
In order to provide viewers with the benefit of Canadian program classification and viewer advisories not available on foreign distant signals, broadcasters who have CRTC-permitted substitution rights over programming which is imported into their markets before the late evening viewing period, may employ substitution, notwithstanding article 3.1.1.

It is from the Code of Violence. Substitute what? It is not substitutiing programs intended for adults...

to substitute the signal

I believe in this context it is the signal that can be substituted. CRTC stands for Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.

"Simultaneous substitution (known also as simsubbing or signal substitution) is a practice mandated by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) requiring Canadian cable, direct broadcast satellite and multichannel multipoint distribution service television distribution companies to substitute the 'signal of a foreign or non-local television station with the signal of a local or regional over-the-air station when the two stations are airing identical programming simultaneously."
