What where the laws and practices in the Olde Days of over-the-air
TV when somebody in a small town installed a translator to repeat

The translator had to be operated by a holder of an FCC license for
that translator.

Operator and Owner are not necessarily linked in any way shape or
form, though they usually were one and the same.

Was the translator operator obligated to carry everything from the source station, or could they turn the translator off if they wanted to?
