Decision CRTC 97-226
|
|
Coopérative de câblodistribution de Ste-Hedwidge
|
|
Sainte-Hedwidge, Quebec - 199609708
|
|
Licence renewal
|
|
1. Following Public Notice CRTC 1996-154 dated 13 December 1996, the Commission renews the broadcasting licence held by Coopérative de câblodistribution de Ste-Hedwidge (the Coopérative), for the cable distribution undertaking serving Sainte-Hedwidge, from 1 September 1997 to 31 August 2004.
|
|
2. The operation of this undertaking is regulated pursuant to Parts I, III and IV of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986 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.
|
|
3. As part of its licence renewal application, the licensee proposed to continue to distribute CBFT (SRC) Montréal, received via satellite. An intervention was submitted by Radio Saguenay ltée, licensee of CKRS-TV Jonquière, opposing the distribution of this service. The intervener, an affiliate of the CBC, noted that CKRS-TV broadcasts more than 95% of the CBC's programming schedule and has a mandate to make the CBC's French-language programming available throughout the Saguenay/Lac-St-Jean region.
|
|
4. In its intervention, the CBC recognized the concerns of Radio Saguenay ltée and confirmed that it would not renew its agreement with the Coopérative allowing distribution of CBFT.
|
|
5. Carriage of the CBC English-language and French-language satellite television services is authorized only if a licensee has entered into the necessary contractual arrangements with the CBC. In view of the above, the licensee must cease distribution of CBFT when its agreement with CBC expires.
|
|
6. It is a condition of licence that, for community programming and any other programming of a service that it originates, the licensee adhere to the guidelines on the depiction of violence in television programming set out in the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' "Voluntary Code Regarding Violence in Television Programming", as amended from time to time and approved by the Commission.
|
|
This decision is to be appended to the licence.
