Decision

Ottawa, 12 May 1993
Decision CRTC 93-146
North Victoria Satellite TV Limited
Ingonish and surrounding areas, Nova Scotia - 920738200 - 921912200
Licence renewal
Following a Public Hearing in Moncton beginning on 17 February 1993, the Commission renews the licence held by North Victoria Satellite TV Limited (North Victoria) for the radiocommunication distribution undertaking serving Ingonish and surrounding areas from 1 October 1993 to 31 August 1995, subject to the conditions specified in this decision and in the licence to be issued. This term will enable the Commission to review at an early date the licensee's implementation of the technical changes noted below.
The Commission also approves the application by North Victoria to relocate the transmitter to a site in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, and to amend the authorized Grade B contour.
The Commission notes that the transmitter relocation will improve service to Ingonish Beach, South Ingonish Harbour and Ingonish Ferry.
The Commission requires the licensee, within six months of the date of this decision, to file a report on its progress towards implementing the technical changes approved herein.
The licensee is authorized to continue to distribute, in encrypted mode, the signals of CITV-TV Edmonton, CHAN-TV Vancouver, CHCH-TV Hamilton, WJBK-TV (CBS), WDIV (NBC), WTVS (PBS) and WXYZ-TV (ABC) Detroit, Michigan, The Parliamentary Network and The Atlantic Satellite Network.
The licensee is reminded that the prior approval of the Commission must be obtained with respect to any proposed changes to the authorized signals distributed by this undertaking.
As stated in Public Notice CRTC 1987-254 dated 26 November 1987, the Commission's policy is that subscription television undertakings should not be permitted to jeopardize the financial viability of neighbouring subscription-based systems. Accordingly, it is a condition of licence that the licensee shall not solicit or accept a subscription from, or make available equipment to decode its signals for use by, any person resident inside or outside of the area encompassed by the contours approved for the licensee by the Commission, when that person is resident
a) within the authorized service area of any cable distribution undertaking licensed now or in the future, or
b) within the area encompassed by the contours approved by the Commission for any other subscription-based broadcasting undertaking licensed now or in the future,
unless the prior written consent of the applicant or licensee of the other undertaking or the prior approval of the Commission has been obtained or, in the case of a person residing inside the approved contours, that person had subscribed to the licensee's subscription television service prior to the licensing of the other undertaking.
