PREAMBLE (for items 1 to 25)
|
|
|
On June 12, 2003, the Commission issued Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2003-30, calling for low power applications for broadcasting licences to carry on a radio programming undertaking to serve Fredericton, New Brunswick. On the same date, the Commission issued Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2003-31 calling for applications for broadcasting licences to carry on radio programming undertakings to serve Halifax, Nova Scotia, Moncton and Saint John, New Brunswick. Interested parties had until August 27 to submit applications to the Commission.
|
|
|
On September 22, 2003, the Commission issued Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2003-51, calling for applications for broadcasting licences to carry on a radio programming undertaking to serve Fredericton, New Brunswick. Interested parties had until November 21 to submit applications to the Commission.
|
|
|
Further to these calls, the Commission received a significant number of applications for licences to serve the aforementioned markets. Included in these proposals, are six by Rogers Broadcasting Limited (RBL) to serve several of the markets. RBL has indicated that its proposed business plan is predicated on the licensing of all of its 6 applications. In this case and in order to use its time more efficiently at the hearing, the Commission may decide to question RBL at its first appearance on any matters related to issues common to all six of its proposals. RBL would still be required to present itself at the Public Hearing as part of the standard four-phase competitive process for each market for which it has submitted an application. Under this scenario, interested parties are asked to be present for RBL's first presentation and to consult future Commission notifications for confirmation of this scheduling approach.

Application No. 2003-1462-5
|
|
|
Application by Vision TV: Canada's Faith Network/Réseau religieux canadien (Vision TV), to effect a corporate reorganisation with respect to its specialty television programming undertakings.
|
|
|
Vision TV is the licensee of the analog national specialty television programming service known as Vision TV (the Vision TV undertaking), providing interfaith religious programming.
|
|
|
It has also been authorized to operate a digital category 2 national specialty television service to be known as The Christian Channel, which is not yet operational.
|
|
|
Vision TV holds 100% of the voting interest of Vision TV Digital Inc. (VDI), which in turn controls, through a voting trust arrangement between itself, Radio Nord Communications Inc. and Renewal Partners Company, ONE: The Body, Mind and Spirit Channel Inc. (ONE). ONE is the licensee of a digital category 1 national specialty television service known as ONE: The Body, Mind and Spirit Channel (the ONE undertaking).
|
|
|
VDI also holds a 30.1% voting interest in the category 2 national specialty television service to be known as Celebration, which is not yet in operation.
|
|
|
The reorganization will consist of the following transactions:
|
|
|
a) Transfer of assets of the undertaking operated by Vision TV
|
|
|
The applicant proposes to transfer the assets of the Vision TV undertaking to a new corporation to be incorporated (NewCo). The new licensee will also act as trustee of Vision TV Trust, of which Vision TV will be the beneficiary.
|
|
|
The applicant is further requesting a licence to continue the operation of the Vision TV undertaking, under the same terms and conditions, upon surrender of the current licence issued to Vision TV.
|
|
|
The applicant is also seeking authority to transfer the licensing authority with regards to The Christian Channel to NewCo, so as to become the new licensee of this service under the same terms and conditions. Considering that this service is not yet operational, the applicant still needs to comply with the requirements stipulated in Public Notices CRTC 2000-171 and 2001-98 before a licence can be issued for this service.
|
|
|
b) Change the indirect control of ONE
|
|
|
Vision TV proposes to transfer the indirect control of ONE to Newco, through the transfer of the 100% voting interest held by VDI, the parent corporation of ONE, from Vision TV to NewCo.
|
|
|
Rationale:
According to the applicant, the corporate reorganization is to ensure that Vision TV operates in a manner that is most efficient for tax and financial planning purposes and from a charities regulation perspective.
