Decision CRTC 95-482
|
|
Community Cable Limited
|
|
Conception Bay, Nova Scotia - 941158800
|
|
Licence renewal
|
|
Following Public Notice CRTC 1995-10 dated 20 January 1995, the Commission renews the Class 2 licence held by Community Cable Limited, for the cable distribution undertaking serving Conception Bay, from 1 September 1995 to 31 August 2002.
|
|
The operation of this undertaking is regulated pursuant to Parts I and II 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, by condition of licence, to continue to distribute, at its option, WDIV (NBC), WTVS (PBS) and
WXYZ-TV (ABC) Detroit, Michigan, received via satellite from CANCOM, as part of the basic service. |
|
In its renewal application, the licensee had proposed to continue to distribute WJBK-TV Detroit, received via satellite from CANCOM. This station, however, is no longer a CBS affiliate, and is no longer distributed by CANCOM. Instead, CANCOM has been authorized to carry WTOL-TV (CBS) Toledo, Ohio (Decision CRTC 94-897 dated 28 November 1994). In Public Notice CRTC 1995-33 dated 1 March 1995, the Commission announced an application by CANCOM, acting as an agent for the licensee, to amend its licence by deleting the condition of licence authorizing the distribution of WJBK-TV, and adding a condition of licence authorizing the distribution of WTOL-TV, received via satellite from CANCOM, as part of the basic service.
|
|
The licensee is also authorized, by condition of licence, to distribute the Atlantic Satellite Network (ASN), received via satellite, provided that it is distributed on an unrestricted channel of the basic service.
|
|
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.
|
|
An intervention was received from TVOntario objecting to the licensee's proposal to distribute TVOntario programming (CICA-TV Toronto) received via satellite. The Commission draws to the licensee's attention that authorization for the distribution of out-of-province educational services not receivable over the air is subject to the requirement that there be no objection on the part of the originating service. In light of TVOntario's objection, the Commission is not prepared to approve the proposed distribution of CICA-TV.
|
|
The Commission acknowledges the interventions submitted by Newfoundland Broadcasting Company Limited and CanWest Maritime Television Inc., and is satisfied with the licensee's replies thereto.
