Decision

Ottawa, 24 July 1995
Decision CRTC 95-485
Regional Cable TV (Atlantic) Inc.
Various locations in Newfoundland
Licence renewals
Following Public Notice CRTC 1995-10 dated 20 January 1995, the Commission renews the licences held by Regional Cable TV (Atlantic) Inc., for the cable distribution undertakings serving the communities listed in the appendix to this decision, from 1 September 1995 to 31 August 2000.
The licence term granted herein, while less than the maximum of seven years permitted by the Broadcasting Act, will enable the Commission to consider the next licence renewal of these undertakings 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 operation of these undertakings is regulated pursuant to Parts I and III of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986 (the regulations) and the licences will be subject to the conditions in effect under the current licences, as well as to those conditions specified in this decision and in the licences to be issued.
The licensee is authorized, by condition of licence, to distribute the programming service of the Atlantic Satellite Network (ASN), received via satellite, provided that it is distributed on an unrestricted channel of the basic service of each undertaking.
In Public Notice CRTC 1992-59 dated 1 September 1992 and entitled "Implementation of an Employment Equity Policy", the Commission announced that the employment equity practices of broadcasters would be subject to examination by the Commission. In this regard, the Commission encourages the licensee to consider employment equity issues in its hiring practices and in all other aspects of its management of human resources.
West Bay
Consistent with Decision CRTC 95-76 dated 11 March 1995, the licensee is relieved from the requirement to distribute the signal of the Atlantic Satellite Network (ASN) on an unrestricted channel of the basic service.
In addition, the licensee is relieved, by condition of licence, of the requirement of subsection 22(1) of the regulations that it distribute the signal of the local station CBFNT (CBC) Port-au-Port. The Commission notes that the licensee will distribute instead the CBC French-language service, received via satellite.
