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 1996-137 dated 16 October 1996.

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 licensees holding a Class 2 licence for an undertaking that has fewer than 2,000 subscribers.

Addition of CJON-TV
|
|
In Decision CRTC 97-81 of today's date, the Commission has approved an application by Canadian Satellite Communications Inc. (Cancom) to add the signal of CJON-TV (CTV) St. John's to the list of signals that it is authorized to distribute.
|
|
The Commission notes that the distribution of this signal by cable licensees is subject to a restriction which requires that, where a cable licensee is also distributing the signal of a local CTV affiliate, it shall delete the duplicate programming from the Cancom service or substitute the local service when the programming is identical.
|
|
CJON-TV has been added to the list of the Part III Eligible Canadian Satellite Services (Part III Canadian list) only. The attached lists have been amended to reflect the change announced herein.
