Licence renewal

Following Public Notice CRTC 1996-46 dated 27 March 1996, the Commission renews the Class 2 licence held by AGI Cablevision Inc., for the cable distribution undertaking serving the above-noted communities, from 1 September 1996 to 31 August 2002.
|
|
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. The term is not reflective of any Commission concern regarding the licensee's performance.
|
|
The operation of this undertaking is regulated pursuant to Parts I, II and IV 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, at its option, WJET-TV (ABC) Erie, Pennsylvania, WJW-TV (FOX) and WOIO-TV (CBS) Cleveland, Ohio, received over the air, as part of the basic service.
|
|
Consistent with Decision CRTC 91-582 dated 12 August 1991, the licensee is relieved, by condition of licence, of the requirement of paragraph 9(1)(b) of the regulations that it distribute TFO, the French-language educational television programming service operated by TVOntario, on the basic band (channels 2 to 13), so long as the service is distributed as part 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.
