Licence amendments
|
|
Following Public Notice CRTC 1995-83 dated 23 May 1995, the Commission approves the application to amend the licence for the cable distribution undertaking serving Lac-des-Aigles, by adding a condition of licence relieving the licensee of the requirement of paragraph 22(1)(b) of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986 (the regulations) to distribute the priority regional programming service of CIVB-TV (SRTQ) Rimouski. The licensee will distribute instead CIVM-TV (SRTQ) Montréal, received via satellite, on the basic band.
|
|
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 English-language television services which are currently offered.
|
|
In approving this request, the Commission has taken into account the licensee's arguments that distribution of additional English-language services from CANCOM was not warranted in view of the exclusively francophone population it is authorized to serve, and that the proposed specialty services are all French-language services.
|
|
The Commission notes the licensee's commitment to replace CBMT (CBC) Montréal with le Réseau de l'information (RDI) in the list of services it proposes to distribute.
|
|
The Commission has noted the concerns expressed by CANCOM in an opposing intervention to this application.
