REVISED LISTS OF ELIGIBLE SATELLITE SERVICES
|
|
Attached to this Public Notice are revised lists of "Part II Eligible Satellite Services" (Part II List) and "Part III Eligible Satellite Services" (Part III List). The Part II List contains the satellite services authorized for distribution by licensees holding Class 1 and Class 2 licences and is found in Appendix A.

|
The Commission has received representations from a number of parties including the Canadian Cable Television Association that the U.S. programming service Lifetime Television be included on the lists of Part II and Part III Eligible Satellite Services. Lifetime Television provides entertainment and information programming targetted primarily to females 18 years and older.
|
As of today's date, the Lifetime Television service is included in section B of the List of "Part II Eligible Satellite Services" and is subject to the general linkage requirements set out in Public Notice CRTC 1987-261. Additionally, the Lifetime Television service is included in the List of "Part III Eligible Non-Canadian Satellite Services". These lists replace the lists dated 10 April 1989.
|
|
It is noted that should the Commission licence, in the future, a Canadian service in a format competitive with an authorized non-Canadian specialty service, the authority for the cable carriage of the non-Canadian service could be terminated. If a non-Canadian service becomes competitive, by virtue of a change in its own format or by a change in format of a Canadian specialty or pay service, the authority for the cable carriage of the non-Canadian service could be terminated.
