Licence renewals
|
|
1. Following Public Notice CRTC 1998-39 dated 22 April 1998, the Commission renews the Class 3 licences held by Shaw Cablesystems Ltd., for the cable distribution undertakings serving the above-noted localities, from 1 September 1998 to 31 August 2005.
|
|
2. The operation of these undertakings is regulated pursuant to Parts 1 and 3 of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations. 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.
|
|
3. Consistent with Decision CRTC 97-623 dated 30 December 1997, the authority to distribute the signal of WNEQ-TV at Grand Valley is subject to the provisions regarding "available channel capacity" set out in Public Notice CRTC 1996-60 entitled Access Rules for Broadcasting Distribution Undertakings. In accordance with these provisions, as modified in Public Notice CRTC 1996-120 entitled Introductory Statement - Licensing of New Specialty and Pay Television Undertakings, the channel to be occupied by this signal shall remain part of the licensee's available channel capacity and, as such, the licensee will be obliged to terminate the distribution of WNEQ-TV as of 1 September 1999, should its undertaking then have insufficient channel capacity to accommodate all licensed specialty programming services.
|
|
4. The licensee may receive any authorized signals over the air, or from any licensed or exempted Canadian broadcasting distribution undertaking authorized to provide signals to other broadcasting distribution undertakings.
|
|
5. It is a condition of each licence that, for community programming and any other programming of a service that it originates, the licensee adhere to the guidelines on the depiction of violence in television programming set out in the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' Voluntary Code Regarding Violence in Television Programming, as amended from time to time and approved by the Commission.
|
|
6. The Commission notes that this licensee is subject to the Employment Equity Act that came into effect on 24 October 1996 (1996 EEA), and therefore files reports concerning employment equity with Human Resources Development Canada. As a result of a consequential amendment to the Broadcasting Act, the Commission no longer has the authority to apply its employment equity policy to any undertaking that is subject to the 1996 EEA.
|
|
This decision is to be appended to each licence.
