Norwich, Otterville and Delhi, Ontario - 902469600

Following a Public Hearing in the National Capital Region held on 5 March 1991, the Commission renews the Class 2 licence held by Nor-Del Cablevision Limited, for the cable distribution undertaking serving the communities noted above, from 1 October 1991 to 31 August 1996. The operation of this undertaking is regulated pursuant to Parts I and II 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.
|
Consistent with Decision CRTC 91-95 dated 12 February 1991, by condition of licence, the licensee is relieved of the requirement of section 9 of the regulations that it distribute the French-language television programming service operated by TVOntario ("La Chaîne française"), on the basic band (channels 2 to 13), so long as the service is distributed as part of the basic service.
|
The licensee is relieved, by condition of licence, of the requirement of section 12 of the regulations that it distribute the signals of CKCO-TV Kitchener and CFPL-TV London on unrestricted channels. Should the quality of the signals deteriorate significantly, the Commission expects the licensee to undertake immediate corrective action including, if necessary, the distribution of these services on other channels.
|
The Commission reaffirms the particular importance 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 expects the licensee to increase its community programming budget to ensure that, in each year of the new licence term, this budget meets the 5% bench mark level established by the Commission.
