9. On Majority Report last night
they explained it quite well.

They paid for the LA and the Chicago airtime - in advance. Then the Lieu(?) guy sold their airtime in LA again, to someone else.

The simples analogy they used was - suppose you rent an apartment, but you can't move into it for a month. You've paid for it - it's your apartment, even if it's sitting empty.

Now suppose the landlord knows you're not moving in for another month, and he rents it to someone else?

If you paid the rent it's yours - whether you're using it or not.
