Decision

Ottawa, 7 July 1989
Decision CRTC 89-446
Cablestrie Inc.
Drummondville, Saint-Germain-de-Grantham, Wickham, Saint-Nicéphore and Saint-Cyrille, Quebec -882825300
Following a Public Hearing in Quebec City on 13 March 1989, the Commission renews the Class 1 licence for the broadcasting receiving undertaking serving the communities noted above held by Cablestrie Inc., from 1 October 1989 to 31 August 1994. The operation of this undertaking is regulated pursuant to Parts I and II of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986 (the regulations) and the licence will be subject to the conditions specified in this decision and in the licence to be issued.
Pursuant to section 12 of the regulations, by condition of licence, the licensee is relieved of the obligation to distribute the programs of CKSH-TV and CHLT-TV Sherbrooke on unrestricted channels. Should the quality of the signals deteriorate significantly, the licensee will be expected to undertake immediate corrective action, such as moving the services to other channels.
The Commission reaffirms the particular importance it attaches to the development of community programming and has taken note of the annual budgets which will be allocated for this purpose during the new licence term. The Commission will monitor the licensee's expenditures with respect to community programming and encourages the licensee to continue its efforts to develop community programs that reflect subscriber interests and concerns.
The Department of Communications has advised the Commission that it is prepared to renew the Technical Construction and Operating Certificate for a period of two years only, expiring 30 September 1991. With respect to the operation of this undertaking beyond this period, the Commission draws the licensee's attention to paragraph 13(1)(b) of the Broadcasting Act pertaining to the technical certification of broadcasting undertakings and to subsection 13(2) which provides that any broadcasting licence issued, amended or renewed in contravention of section 13 is of no force or effect.

Secretary General
