Decision

Ottawa, 10 July 1998
Decision CRTC 98-223
Le Réseau des Sports (RDS) inc.
Licence amendment for RDS
1. Following Public Notice CRTC 1998-50 dated 19 May 1998, the Commission approves the application by Le Réseau des Sports (RDS) inc to amend the licence for the national French-language specialty television programming undertaking known as "Le Réseau des sports" (RDS), by amending the condition of licence providing a definition of the term "broadcast day" found in the appendix to Decision CRTC 94-602. Pursuant to the amended condition of licence, "broadcast day" is defined as follows:
11 b) "broadcast day" means a 24-hour period beginning at 00:00:01 hour Eastern time;
2. The licensee indicated that since the launch of RDS in 1988, its operations, including programming and advertising, have been based on a 24-hour cycle beginning at midnight. In proposing an amendment to the definition of broadcast day, the licensee is seeking to have this definition correspond to its operational day.
3. In approving this application, the Commission has taken into account the fact that the proposed definition of "broadcast day" will not affect program logs nor Canadian content on the RDS service.
This decision is to be appended to the licence.
