How exactly were foreign shows like anime aired on American TV?

So companies buy licenses to air certain shows from their countries of origin but what then? Do American broadcast networks receive a shipped USB drive containing high quality episodes straight from Japan to stream on TV?

How’s the streaming process like back then , back when switching through channels on TV was one of the few ways to watch anime?
