Decision

Ottawa, 17 May 1995
Decision CRTC 95-227
Coast Mountain Communications Inc.
Pemberton, British Columbia - 941087900
Licence renewal
Following Public Notice CRTC 1994-159 dated 23 December 1994, the Commission renews the licence for the radiocommunication distribution undertaking serving Pemberton, from 1 September 1995 to 31 August 2000, subject to the conditions in effect under the current licence, as well as to those conditions specified in the licence to be issued.
The licence term granted herein, while less than the maximum of seven years permitted by the Broadcasting Act (the Act), will enable the Commission to consider the next licence renewal of this undertaking in accordance with the Commission's regional plan and to better distribute the workload within the Commission. This term is not reflective of any Commission concern regarding the licensee's performance.
The licensee is authorized to distribute, in encrypted mode, the following programming services:
CALL SIGN/INDICATIF D'APPEL SOURCE
Television Services/Services de télévision
(encrypted mode/forme codée)
CH2175 WTOL-TV (CBS) Toledo, Ohio
CH2176 WDIV (NBC) Detroit, Michigan
CH2177 CHAN-TV (CTV) Vancouver
CH2178 CITV-TV (IND) Edmonton
CH3086 WTVS (PBS) Detroit
CH3087 The Sports Network (TSN)
Radio Service/Service de radio
(non-encrypted mode/from non-codée)
VF2005 CKRW Whitehorse
The Commission notes that the licensee had proposed to continue to distribute WJBK-TV Detroit, Michigan. However, this station has been replaced, as a CBS affiliate, by WTOL-TV (CBS) Toledo, Ohio, on the "Revised Lists of Eligible Satellite Services" (Public Notice CRTC 1995-8).
In order not to jeopardize the financial viability of neighbouring subscription-based systems, it is a condition of licence that the licensee shall not solicit or accept a subscription from, or make available equipment to decode its signals for use by, any person resident inside or outside of the area encompassed by the contours approved for the licensee by the Commission, when that person is resident
a) within the authorized service area of any cable distribution undertaking licensed now or in the future, or
b) within the area encompassed by the contours approved by the Commission for any other subscription-based broadcasting undertaking licensed now or in the future,
unless the prior written consent of the licensee of the other undertaking or the prior approval of the Commission has been obtained or, in the case of a person residing inside the approved contours, that person had subscribed to the licensee's subscription television service prior to the licensing of the other undertaking.
In accordance with subsection 22(1) of the Act, this renewal is subject to the issuance of a Broadcasting Certificate by the Department of Industry, Science and Technology.
The Commission draws the licensee's attention to subsection 22(4) of the Act which provides that any broadcasting licence issued, amended or renewed in contravention of section 22 is of no force or effect.

Secretary General
