PREAMBLE

The Commission has received a set of applications from BATON BROADCASTING INCORPORATED ("BBI") and ELECTROHOME LIMITED ("Electrohome") and certain of their subsidiaries (collectively "the parties") in which the parties are requesting authority to effect a Strategic Merger Agreement (the "SMA") involving a series of transactions which are meant to be implemented in two distinct transactional phases.

PHASE I

Under Phase I, BBI and Electrohome are requesting authority to effect changes in effective control of certain of their subsidiaries and BBI is requesting authority to acquire certain television assets, located in the Province of Alberta, from Electrohome.

The first transaction relates to the transfer of effective control of TV WEST INC. ("TV West"), a company that is owned 50% by BBI, indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary BBS SASKATCHEWAN INCORPORATED ("BBS Sask."), and 50% by Electrohome. Effective control of TV West will be transferred to BBI through the transfer of Electrohome's 50% interest in TV West to BBI.

The second transaction relates to the transfer of effective control of SOUTH WEST ONTARIO TELEVISION INC. ("SWOTI"), a company that is owned 50% by BBI, indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary BBS ONTARIO INCORPORATED ("BBS Ontario"), and 50% by Electrohome. Effective control of SWOTI will be transferred to BBI through the transfer of Electrohome's 50% interest in SWOTI to BBI.

The third transaction relates to a request by BBI for authority to acquire the assets and for broadcast licences to continue the operation of CFRN-TV Edmonton, CFRN-TV-4 Ashmont, CFRN-TV-6 Red Deer and CFRN-TV-3 Whitecourt, Alberta.

The fourth transaction relates to the transfer of effective control of Vancouver Television Inc. ("VTI") a new television undertaking which was recently licensed by the Commission. VTI is a company equally owned by Electrohome and BBI. Effective control of VTI will be transferred to BBI through the transfer of Electrohome's 50% interest in VTI to BBI.

In addition to the previously mentioned applications, Electrohome would transfer its 14.28% interest in CTV Television Network Ltd. to BBI.

The Commission notes that upon approval of the Phase I transactions, Electrohome would receive, among other things, approximately 23% of BBI's outstanding common (voting) shares, as well as, the right to nominate two directors to BBI's Board.

$TEXTENG>PHASE II

Phase II relates to an inter-corporate reorganization involving various asset transfers, transmitter additions and deletions and changes in programming sources, all of which are fully outlined in the application descriptions presented in this document.

The Commission notes that Phase II is conditional upon the prior approval of the Phase I applications.

The Commission also notes that on approval of the Phase II applications, BBS Ontario, BBS Sask., TV West and SWOTI will be amalgamated to form one wholly-owned subsidiary of BBI ("Amalco") which will hold all of BBI's broadcast licences. As well, BBI has indicated that VTI would operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amalco.
