List of non-Canadian programming services authorized for distribution – Annual compilation of amendments

  1. In Broadcasting Public Notice 2006-55, the Commission announced that it would issue a public notice each year setting out revised lists of eligible satellite services, including references to all amendments since the previous public notice setting out the lists.
  2. In Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2011-399, the Commission replaced the lists of eligible satellite services with a simplified, consolidated list, the List of non-Canadian programming services authorized for distribution (the list), which came into effect 1 September 2011.
  3. Accordingly, in Appendix 1 to this regulatory policy, the Commission sets out all amendments made to the list since the last compilation found in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2014-18. Further, the non-Canadian programming services authorized for distribution approved as of 26 November 2014 are set out in Appendix 2.  
  4. As noted in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2014-240, Military Channel was renamed American Heroes Channel. Further, as set out in Broadcasting Decision 2014-217, Star India One Channel was removed from the list as requested by Asian Television Network International Limited, the Canadian sponsor, and agreed to by Star India Private Limited, the operator. These changes are reflected in Appendix 2.
