Public Notice

Ottawa, 6 June 1989
Public Notice CRTC 1989-62
Regulations Respecting Specialty Services Networks
In light of the number of Canadian specialty networks now licensed, the Commission is proposing to enact a new set of regulations to deal specifically with these undertakings. The Commission intends to include in these regulations the provisions of the Television Broadcasting Regulations, l987 that were incorporated by reference into the specialty licences approved in November l987, as well as other relevant provisions.
The regulations will provide a standard framework under which all specialty services will operate. They will address such matters as programming content, political broadcasts, logs and records, and the transfer of ownership or control of the undertaking.
With the enactment of these regulations, both specialty services and television services available off-air will be subject to similar regulatory requirements.
The Commission invites comments from interested parties on the attached regulations. Comments should be addressed to Fernand Bélisle, Secretary General, CRTC, Ottawa K1A ON2 and should be received no later than 18 July l989.
Fernand Bélisle
Secretary General
