Licence amendment for Newsworld
|
1. Following Public Notice CRTC 1997-145 dated 4 December 1997, the Commission approves the application by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, licensee of the national English-language specialty programming undertaking known as Newsworld, to amend condition of licence no. 3 pertaining to the distribution of advertising material in order to increase the amount of advertising from the current 8 minutes to a maximum of 12 minutes per hour. The amended condition of licence now reads as follows:
|
3.(1) Subject to subsections (3) and (4), the licensee shall not distribute more than 12 minutes of advertising material during each clock hour.
|
(2) For the purpose of this condition, advertising material does not include a promotion for a Canadian program to be broadcast by the licensee, notwithstanding that a sponsor is identified in the title of the program or is identified as a sponsor of that program, where the identification is limited to the name of the sponsor only and does not include a description or representation of the products or services or any attributes of the sponsor's products or services.
|
(3) In addition to the maximum of 12 minutes of advertising material referred to in subsection (1), the licensee may broadcast, during each clock hour, a maximum of 30 seconds of additional advertising material that consists of unpaid public service announcements.
|
(4) Where a long-form live program that is not regularly-scheduled occupies time in 2 or more consecutive clock hours, the licensee may exceed the maximum number of minutes of advertising material set out in subsection (1) during any of those clock hours, up to a maximum of 14 minutes in any clock hour, provided that the average number of minutes of advertising material broadcast during the clock hours occupied by the program does not exceed 12 minutes.
|
(5) For the purpose of this condition, a clock hour is a period of 60 minutes beginning on each hour and ending immediately prior to the next hour.
|
This decision is to be appended to the licence.
