I would like to know how networks work fm of a country? or the transmission towers and get their information via internet, via another antenna fm via cable or satellite? would have if it received on satellite dish antenna and then passes it to an antenna fm transmitter? hopefully good answer because I see that you know the subject of sporadic-e propagation and amateur radio god.

@rodriampuero Network feeds are usually distributed in one of 3 ways. Either by satellite, fibre / cable or microwave link. Some budget systems may use repeaters. Internet doesn't usually have the quality, bandwidth or reliability at this time. That may change in the future. Which method NBC New Guinea use I'm not sure.

@Learjet66 and fiber cables pass through the city via public fence posts? And as they do To receive signals via satellite dish? greetings.

@rodriampuero Google this "BSE supplies FM Transmitters to PNG". The page describes distribution of NBC by satellite feed from Port Morseby and also UHF links. That's how they do it by the look of it.
