Public Notice

  Ottawa, 30 July 1998
  Public Notice CRTC 1998-78
  The Commission has received the following applications:
  ONTARIO REGION
  1.  HUNTSVILLE, KITCHENER, NORTH BAY AND WIARTON, Ontario
  Applications (199801577, 199801585) by BBS INCORPORATED, 9 Channel Nine Court, Scarborough, Ontario, M1S 4B5:
  a) to amend its (television) programming undertaking licence for CKNY-TV North Bay by adding a transmitter at Huntsville using the currently approved facilities of CKCO-TV-4 Huntsville.
  b) to amend its (television) programming undertaking licence for CKCO-TV Kitchener by adding a transmitter at Wiarton using the currently approved facilities of CKCO-TV-2 Wiarton.
  If these applications are approved, the licensee would discontinue the provision of 3 hours and 13 minutes of original, locally-based news for the communities of Wiarton and Huntsville which was broadcast separately on CKCO-TV-2 Wiarton. News from the Wiarton area would be incorporated in the CKCO-TV newscasts while the news programming for Huntsville region would appear in the newscasts of CKNY-TV North Bay.
  The Commission has a long-established policy of linking the privilege of soliciting local advertising revenue with the provision of separate local programming to residents of the area. In these applications BBS Incorporated requests to be allowed to continue to solicit local advertising in the Wiarton and Huntsville/Muskoka regions.
  The applicant has advised that, should the Commission approve the above, it will surrender the current licence for CKCO-TV-2 Wiarton and its transmitter CKCO-TV-4 Huntsville.
