Following Public Notice CRTC 1994-146 dated 2 December 1994, the Commission renews the licence held by Cogeco Câble Canada Inc., for the cable distribution undertaking serving Acton Vale and Roxton Falls, from 1 September 1995 to 31 August 2001.

The licence term granted herein, while less than the maximum of seven years permitted by the Broadcasting Act, will enable the Commission to consider the next licence renewal of this undertaking in accordance with the Commission's regional plan and to better distribute the workload within the Commission. This term is not reflective of any Commission concern regarding the licensee's performance.
|
|
The operation of this undertaking is regulated pursuant to Parts I and III of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986 (the regulations) and the licence will be subject to the conditions in effect under the current licence, as well as to those conditions specified in this decision and in the licence to be issued.
|
|
In addition to the services required or authorized to be distributed pursuant to the applicable sections of the regulations, the licensee is authorized to continue to distribute WVNY (ABC), WCAX-TV (CBS) and WETK (PBS) Burlington, Vermont as well as WPTZ (NBC) Plattsburgh, New York, received via microwave, as part of the basic service.
|
|
Consistent with Decision CRTC 89-694, it is a condition of licence that the licensee be relieved of the requirement to 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.

In Public Notice CRTC 1992-59 dated 1 September 1992 and entitled "Implementation of an Employment Equity Policy", the Commission announced that the employment equity practices of broadcasters would be subject to examination by the Commission. In this regard, the Commission encourages the licensee to consider employment equity issues in its hiring practices and in all other aspects of its management of human resources.
