Public Notice CRTC 1998-111

|
CALL FOR COMMENTS ON A REQUEST TO ADD THE MIRACLE CHANNEL TO THE LISTS OF ELIGIBLE SATELLITE SERVICES
|
|
The Commission has received a request from The Miracle Channel Association (CJIL-TV), P.O. Box 1566, Lethbridge, Alberta, T1J 4K3, to have its signal, The Miracle Channel (TMC), added to Section "A" of the list of "Part 2 Eligible Satellite Services" and to the list of "Part 3 Eligible Satellite Services".
|
|
In Decision 95-129, the Commission licensed Victory Christian Fellowship of Lethbridge, on behalf of a society to be incorporated (subsequently incorporated as Canada For Christ Broadcasting Association, and more recently to The Miracle Channel Association), to operate a non-commercial English-language (television) programming undertaking at Lethbridge, for the purpose of broadcasting religious programming from local studios and other Canadian sources, as well as religious programming originating in the United States.
|
|
This request, if approved, would permit Class 1 and 2 distribution undertakings located throughout Canada to distribute this religious service on a discretionary basis without prior Commission approval. Further, the approval of this request would permit Class 3 distribution undertakings located throughout Canada to distribute the TMC signal as part of either the basic service or on a discretionary tier without prior Commission approval.
|
|
The Commission considers it appropriate to provide an opportunity for public comment on the proposed amendment to the lists in order to ensure that all relevant information is available to it prior to making a decision. Accordingly, the Commission invites comments on the proposed addition of TMC to the lists of eligible satellite services.
