Boundary Cable Ltd.

Midway, British Columbia - 950072900
|
|
Licence renewal
|
|
Following Public Notice CRTC 1995-187 dated 3 November 1995, the Commission renews the licence held by Boundary Cable Ltd., for the cable distribution undertaking serving Midway, from 1 January 1996 to 31 August 2001.
|
|
The licence term granted herein, while less than the maximum of seven years permitted by the Broadcasting Act (the 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 the licence to be issued.
|
|
The Commission also approves the licensee's application to be relieved, by condition of licence, from the requirement of paragraph 22(1)(b) of the regulations that it distribute CKKM-TV Oliver, a regional programming service, due to the poor quality of the signal. The licensee will distribute instead CHAN-TV Vancouver.
|
|
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 KMBI-FM Spokane, Washington, received over the air.
|
|
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.
|
|
The Department of Industry has advised the Commission that it is prepared to renew the Broadcasting Certificate for a period expiring 31 August 1996. With respect to the operation of this undertaking beyond this period, the Commission draws the licensee's attention to subsection 22(1) of the Act pertaining to the technical certification of broadcasting undertakings and to subsection 22(4) which provides that any broadcasting licence issued, amended or renewed in contravention of section 22 is of no force or effect.
