REVISED LISTS OF ELIGIBLE SATELLITE SERVICES
|
|
Attached to this Public Notice are revised lists of "Part II Eligible Satellite Services" (Part II list), "Part III Eligible Canadian Satellite Services" (Part III Canadian list), and "Part III Eligible non-Canadian Satellite Services" (Part III non-Canadian list). These lists supersede the lists appended to Public Notice CRTC 1995-189 dated 6 November 1995.
|
|
The Part II list (Appendix A) contains satellite services authorized for distribution by licensees holding a Class 1 licence, or a Class 2 licence for an undertaking that has between 2,000 and 6,000 subscribers.
|
|
The Part III Canadian and non-Canadian lists (Appendix B) contain satellite services authorized for distribution by licensees holding a Part III licence or licen-sees holding a Class 2 licence for an undertaking that has fewer than 2,000 subscribers.

Addition of signals delivered by Cancom
|
|
In Decision CRTC 96-76 of today's date, the Commission approved applications by Canadian Satellite Com-munications Inc. (Cancom) to add WHDH (NBC) Boston, Massachusetts to the list of signals that it
|
|
is authorized to distribute, and to replace KIRO-TV Seattle with KSTW (CBS) Tacoma, Washington on that list. |
|
In order to authorize the distribution of WHDH and KSTW by Class 1 licensees and Class 2 licensees that have between 2,000 and 6,000 subscribers, on a discretionary tier, and by Part III licensees and Class 2 licensees with fewer than 2,000 subscribers, either as part of the basic service or on a discretionary tier, these signals have been added to the Part II list and the Part III Canadian list.
|
|
Audio programming services
|
|
In Decisions CRTC 95-911, 95-912, 95-913 and 95-914 dated 20 December 1995, the Commission approved four applications for broadcasting licences to carry on pay audio programming undertakings.
|
|
In order to authorize the distribution of these services by Class 1 licensees and Class 2 licensees that have between 2,000 and 6,000 subscribers, and by Part III licensees and Class 2 licensees with fewer than 2,000 subscribers, the Part II list and Part III Canadian list have been amended to include licensed pay audio programming undertakings.
|
|
The Commission reminds Class 1 licensees and Class 2 licensees that have between 2,000 and 6,000 subscribers that these pay audio programming undertakings may not be used for linkage purposes for the distribution of any non-Canadian eligible satellite services.
|
|
The attached lists have been amended to reflect the changes announced herein. |
