Decision CRTC 89-100

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

|
Windsor, Ontario -881280200
|
|
Following a Public Hearing in Toronto on 3 October 1988, the Commission renews the broadcasting licence for CBEFT Windsor from 1 September 1989 to 31 August 1994, subject to the conditions specified in the appendix to this decision and in the licence to be issued.
|
|
CBEFT Windsor is owned and operated by the CBC and broadcasts the local programming of CBLFT Toronto, as well as most of the network programming of the CBC French-language television network.
|
|
This undertaking is, however, unable to rebroadcast all of the network's programs due to the blackout requirements for some local sporting events. In addition, as the city of Detroit, Michigan is situated within the undertaking's coverage area, certain U.S. American programs which are protected by U.S. broadcast rights may not be aired on CBEFT.
|
|
Given these special circumstances, CBEFT ends its broadcast day at 11:20 p.m. Monday through Thursday and, during the remainder of the broadcast period made available by the above-noted schedule changes, CBEFT rebroadcasts late-night feature films and other station-acquired programs.
|
In renewing this licence, the Commission also authorizes the CBC to make use of the Vertical Blanking Interval. The Commission expects the CBC to adhere to the guidelines set out in Appendix A to Public Notice CRTC 1989-23 dated 23 March 1989 entitled "Services Using the Vertical Blanking Interval (Television) or Subsidiary Communications Multiplex Operation (FM)".
|
|
The Commission acknowledges the intervention received from the Canadian Association of the Deaf encouraging television stations to increase their programming accessibility to deaf and hearing-impaired persons.
|
|
The Commission expects CBEFT, during the first year of the new licence term, to acquire a telephone device for the deaf (TDD) and install it wherever is most appropriate, such as in the master control room, to ensure access to the station by deaf and hearing-impaired viewers over the entire broadcast day.
