Decision

Ottawa, 13 January 1993
Decision CRTC 93-13
CF Cable TV Inc.
Parts of Montréal and Laval, Quebec - 920481900
Following a Public Hearing in the National Capital Region beginning on 21 September 1992, the Commission approves the application for authority to acquire the assets of the cable distribution undertaking serving parts of Montréal and Laval from CFCF Inc., and for a broadcasting licence to continue the operation of this undertaking, under the same terms and conditions as the current licence.
The Commission will issue a licence to CF Cable TV Inc. (CF Cable), expiring 31 August 1995, upon surrender of the current licence. The operation of this undertaking will be regulated pursuant to Parts I and II of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986 (the regulations). The authority granted herein is subject to the same conditions as those specified in the current licence, as well as to any other condition that may be specified in the licence to be issued.
In approving this application, the Commission has taken into account the fact that CF Cable is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CFCF Inc. and that the transaction thus represents an intra-corporate reorganization without any change occurring in the control or management of the licensee. In accordance with Decision CRTC 90-1038 dated 28 September 1990, the licensee is relieved, by condition of licence, of the requirement of paragraph 9(1)(c) of the regulations that it distribute the programming services of the priority television stations CFTU-TV Montréal and CJOH-TV-8 Cornwall, Ontario, on the basic band of its basic service if channels are available. The licensee is still required to distribute CFTU-TV and CJOH-TV-8 as part of the basic service. In addition, as approved in Decision CRTC 90-795 dated 23 August 1990, the licensee is authorized, by condition of licence, to continue to distribute, at its option, the two PBS stations WETK-TV Burlington, Vermont, and WCFE-TV Plattsburgh, New York.
The licensee is also relieved, by condition of licence, of the requirement of subsection 16(2) of the regulations that it distribute the audio programming services of CHAI-FM Châteauguay, CIBL-FM Montréal and CKHQ-FM Kanesatake. In addition, the licensee continues to be relieved, by condition of licence, of the general provisions of subsection 10(2) of the regulations requiring that the specialty programming services MuchMusic and The Sports Network be offered as discretionary services.
The licensee is authorized to continue the distribution of its special ethnic programming service. It is a condition of licence that the licensee shall not distribute as part of this ethnic service any commercial message other than a sponsorship credit included in the programs credits, which combines no more than the logo, name, address and type of activity or profession of the sponsor. The licensee is also authorized, on an exceptional basis, to add English- or French-language subtitles to feature films on the special multicultural programming service, provided that these subtitles are an integral part of the original production.
