1. Following Public Notice CRTC 1997-102 dated 25 July 1997, the Commission approves the application to amend the broadcasting licence to carry on a multiple channel television and radio broadcasting relay distribution undertaking by adding KSTP (ABC) and WFTC (FOX) Minneapolis, Minnesota, to the list of signals that Cancom is authorized to distribute.

2. As part of its application, Cancom requested that the Minneapolis signals be added to the List of Part 2 Eligible Satellite Services (Section A) and the List of Part 3 Eligible Satellite Services.
