| Décibel Inc. | |
| Saint-Léonard-d'Aston, Quebec - 932423700 | |
Licence amendment |
|
| Pursuant to Public Notice CRTC 1994-56 dated 24 May 1994, the Commission approves the application to amend the licence for the cable distribution undertaking serving Saint-Léonard-d'Aston by authorizing the licensee: | |
| - to delete the local head end; | |
| - to interconnect the undertaking with the head end of the Vidéotron Ltée (Vidéotron) cable undertaking serving Victoriaville and to add the three distant head ends at Pie IX/Rosemont, Villa Maria and Mont Saint-Grégoire (Quebec) which are part of the Trans-Québec network; and | |
| - to distribute, on the basic service, the following programming services which will be received via optical fibre from Victoriaville: CBFT (CBC), CBMT (CBC), CFTM-TV (TVA), CFCF-TV (CTV) and CFTU-TV (IND) Montréal, the Videoway Channel, WVNY (ABC) and WCAX-TV (CBS) Burlington, Vermont, as well as WPTZ (NBC) and WCFE-TV (PBS) Plattsburgh, New York. The Commission is satisfied that the distribution of CFTU-TV is consistent with the guidelines on the cable distribution of distant Canadian television signals first set out in Public Notice CRTC 1985-61 and reiterated in Public Notice CRTC 1993-74. | |
| The Commission approves, by condition of licence, the licensee's request to be relieved from the requirement of Section 4 of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986 (the regulations) that it own and operate its local head end. | |
| The Commission also approves the licensee's request with respect to section 23 of the regulations. Accordingly, it is a condition of licence that the licensee be relieved of the requirement that it distribute at least four television programming services as provided for in section 23 of the regulations, so long as it distributes only those U.S. television services listed in the current application or as may be authorized by the Commission. | |
| The Commission acknowledges the intervention submitted by Canadian Satellite Communications Inc. in opposition to this application as well as the licensee's reply thereto. | |
