Decision

Ottawa, 26 April 1990
Decision CRTC 90-402
Téléval Inc.
Normandin, Quebec - 893661900
Following a Public Hearing in Montreal beginning on 13 March 1990, the Commission renews the licence for the broadcasting receiving undertaking serving Normandin, held by Téléval Inc., from 1 October 1990 to 31 August 1995. The operation of this undertaking is regulated pursuant to Parts I and III 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.
In addition to the services required or authorized to be distributed pursuant to the applicable sections of the regulations, the licensee is authorized to continue to distribute, at its option, CFJP-TV Montreal, received via satellite, as part of the basic service.
The Commission also approves, by condition of licence, the applicant's request to be relieved of the requirement of paragraph 22(1)(b) of the regulations with respect to the distribution of regional service CFRS-TV (TQS) Jonquière, in view of the poor reception quality of the signal as confirmed by the Department of Communications. Instead, the licensee proposes to distribute the programming of CFJP-TV Montreal (TQS), received via satellite. The Commission approves the licensee's request with respect to section 23 of the regulations. Accordingly, it is a condition of licence that the applicant be relieved of the requirement that it distribute at least four television programming services delivered to its local head end by a network operator licensed to extend television and radio services to remote and underserved communities, at least one of which must be a Canadian television programming service, so long as it distributes only two U.S. television stations.
In considering this request, the Commission took into account the licensee's arguments that the community served is entirely francophone and that the subscribers do not wish to receive other English-language services, in addition to the four which are currently available. The Commission notes the written intervention submitted by Canadian Satellite Communications Inc. (CANCOM) concerning this request.
