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?

All non-live TV currently works pretty much the exact same way, and it’s been this way for a while
You get either 1) the data sent via high speed fiber over the internet . 2) physical hard drives. 3) some lesser developed countries or poorer stations just use ftp, seriously.
In the past you would be sent physical media containing the content of it was from overseas or if it needed to be physical, like film reels. T there have been different formats and such, but you just stick it in the mail and mail it. For films, this used to be a very large expense, reels are expensive.
Live TV is done via satellite or fiber, generally in very high bitrates.
