Public Notice

Ottawa, 12 May 1995
Public Notice CRTC 1995-80
RENEWAL OF BROADCASTING UNDERTAKING LICENCES DUE TO EXPIRE IN 1995
The Commission has received applications by SHAW COMMUNICATIONS INC. (SHAW), 7605 - 50 Street, Edmonton, Alberta, T6B 2W9, on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiaries who are licensees of various cable television undertakings controlled by Shaw (see below) to be permitted, by condition of licence, to alter the signals of U.S. satellite services for the insertion of promotional material in certain of the local availabilities of those services. U.S. cable companies may insert their own advertising or promotional material. Since this time is also available to Canadian cable operators, Shaw is proposing to use this opportunity for strictly promotional purposes, not for the sale of advertising.
The applicant has agreed to the imposition of the following condition of licence, in conformity with that imposed on Rogers Cable TV Ltd. in Decision CRTC 95-12:
"The licensee may, at its option, insert certain promotional material as a substitute for the "local availabilities" (i.e. non-Canadian advertising material) of non-Canadian satellite services. At least 75% of these local availabilities must be made available for use by licensed Canadian programming services for the promotion of their respective services, for the promotion of the community channel and for unpaid Canadian public service announcements. A maximum of 25% of the local availabilities may be made available for the promotion of discretionary programming services and packages, customer service information, channel realignments, cable FM service and additional cable outlets."
The applicant states that Shaw intends to distribute all availablities on an equitable basis and none of the costs whether capital or operating will be borne by basic subscribers.
