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?

Mostly it was a proprietary vhs format that was shipped to the TV station to air. USB sticks and PC video formats we’re not even a thing back in the day of Battle of the Planets and Robotech over the air.
