Decision CRTC 91-409
Gravenhurst Cable Systems Limited
Bracebridge; and Gravenhurst, Ontario - 902666700 - 902667500
Following a Public Hearing in the National Capital Region held on 5 March 1991, the Commission renews the Class 2 licences for the cable distribution undertakings serving Bracebridge and Gravenhurst, held by Gravenhurst Cable Systems Limited, from 1 October 1991 to 31 August 1996. 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.
In addition to the services required or authorized to be distributed pursuant to the applicable sections of the regulations, the licensee is authorized, by condition of licence, to continue to distribute, at its option, CFTO-TV Toronto and CHNB-TV North Bay, Ontario, received over-the-air, as well as CHCH-TV Hamilton and WTVS (PBS) and WXYZ-TV (ABC) Detroit, Michigan, received via satellite from the CANCOM network, as part of the basic service of each undertaking. The licensee is also authorized to continue to distribute, at its option, WIVB-TV (CBS) and WGRZ-TV (NBC) Buffalo, New York, received via microwave, as part of the basic service of each undertaking.
Consistent with Decision CRTC 88-811, the licensee 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), so long as it is distributed 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.
