The operation of these undertakings is regulated pursuant to Parts I and II of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986 (the regulations) and the licences will be subject to the conditions specified in this decision and in the licences to be issued.

Consistent with Decision CRTC 87-279, Maclean Hunter is relieved, by condition of licence, of the requirement of paragraph 9(1)(b) of the regulations to distribute on each undertaking the French-language educational television programming service operated by TVOntario ("La Chaîne française") on the basic band (channels 2 to 13). The Commission notes that Maclean Hunter will continue to distribute this service as part of the basic service.

The Commission reaffirms the particular importance that 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 encourages the licensee to continue its efforts to develop community programs that reflect subscriber interests and concerns.
