  Ottawa, 20 February 1998
  The Commission has received the following applications:
  1. ACROSS CANADA
  Application (199707816) by CANADIAN SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS INC. (CANCOM) to amend the broadcasting licence of the multiple-channel television and radio broadcasting relay distribution undertaking, by adding the signal of Euronews, to the list of signals that it is authorized to distribute and to the list of Part II Eligible Satellite Services, Section "A" (Part II list, Section "A") and the list of Part III Eligible Canadian Satellite Services (Part III Canadian list).
  The Commission notes that this application was filed with the Commission prior to 11 December 1997, the date on which it issued Public Notice CRTC 1997-33-2, Postponement of Public Hearing to Consider New Specialty and Pay Television Applications. In that notice, the Commission in announcing a moratorium on the addition of any new foreign services to the lists of eligible satellite services, stated that the moratorium did not apply to any applications currently before the Commission.
