Decision CRTC 92-802

Mitchell-Seaforth Cable T.V. Ltd.
|
Mitchell, Seaforth and surrounding area, Ontario - 920759800
|
Pursuant to Public Notice CRTC 1992-69 dated 8 October 1992, the Commission approves the application by Mitchell-Seaforth Cable T.V. Ltd. to amend the licence for the cable distribution undertaking serving Mitchell, Seaforth and surrounding area, by adding a condition of licence allowing the licensee to distribute, at its option, the programming service of CHCH-TV Hamilton, received via satellite from the CANCOM network, as part of the basic service.
|
Paragraph 9(1)(i) of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986 (the regulations) requires the licensee to distribute CHCH-TV, an extra-regional signal, received over the air. The licensee has indicated however that the over-the-air reception quality of this signal is poor because of the distance from the licensee's head end to the CHCH-TV transmitter. Accordingly, the licensee proposes to distribute CHCH-TV, received via satellite from the CANCOM network.
|
In view of the foregoing, the licensee is relieved, by condition of licence, from the requirement of paragraph 9(1)(i) of the regulations that it distribute CHCH-TV, received over the air.
