1. Following Public Notice
CRTC 1997-75 dated 4 June 1997,
the Commission approves the licensee's request for authority to
distribute the programming service of WFFF-TV (FOX) Burlington, Vermont, on a
discretionary tier of the undertakings serving the above-noted localities. |
| |
2. The Commission notes that in the case of the
undertakings served by Vidéotron ltée and Laurentien Câble TV inc., the
signal of WFFF-TV will replace WUHF-TV (FOX) Rochester, New York, currently
authorized. |
| |
3. The licensees are authorized to receive this
signal over the air, or from any licensed or exempted Canadian broadcasting
distribution undertaking authorized to provide signals to other broadcasting
distribution undertakings. The Commission notes that Vidéotron ltée will be
receiving this signal over the air in Montréal and feeding it through its
microwave system to its other undertakings mentioned above; that CF Cable TV
inc. will also be receiving the signal over the air in Montréal and feeding
it to the undertakings served by Laurentien Câble TV inc. mentioned above;
and that TDM Newco inc. plans to receive this signal over the air. |
| |
4. The Commission acknowleges the opposing
intervention submitted by CF-12 Inc., licensee of CFCF-TV Montréal, who
claims that the new station will "siphon" advertising revenues from the
Montréal market. The Commission also acknowledges the intervention submitted
by CHUM Limited, who supports this application, conditional upon the limited
sale of advertising to Canadian companies. |
| |
5. The Commission has noted the licensees'
replies to the interventions, and it is satisfied that approval of these
applications will not have any significant impact on the advertising revenues
of local broadcasters. |
| |
This decision is to be appended to the
licence. |
