[[TBS (TV network)|TBS Superstation]] is now simply known as [[TBS (TV network)|''TBS'']]. WGN continues to bill itself as ''[[Superstation WGN]]''. However, while the FCC defines "superstation" as a term, it does not prohibit its use by others such as [[KIMO]] in [[Anchorage, Alaska|Anchorage]], [[Alaska]], which has a network of repeater stations in other parts of that state and calls itself ''The Alaska SuperStation''. The term is used by many other TV and radio stations, however, none of these operations is a superstation as defined by the FCC.
 
==[[Canada]]==
 
'''Canada''' does not have any television stations that operate as "superstations" in the official sense of the term. Technically, almost every station in Canada is a superstation, as any station that is available on satellite (and almost all of them are), can be carried by any Canadian cable system. The closest Canadian equivalent to the "superstation" model is the [[television system]].
 
Moreover, Canadian providers are able to distribute American television stations in their digital package, regardless of whether or not they are licensed superstations.
 
==[[Mexico]]==
 
Much like Canada, '''Mexico''' has almost all its stations available on satellite and carried on select Mexican cable systems. And just like Canada, Mexican providers can obtain American television stations in their digital package, even if they aren't licensed superstations.
