Licence amendments for Prime TV |
|
1. The Commission approves the application to amend the broadcasting licence for the national English-language specialty programming undertaking known as Prime TV. |
|
2. The definition of broadcast day set out in Decision CRTC 96-604 is amended and will read as follows: "broadcast day" shall mean the period of 24 hours beginning at 08:00. This amendment will be in effect for the current broadcast year. |
|
3. In addition, the following subsection is added to the condition of licence which sets limits on the amount of advertising that the licensee may broadcast: |
|
4.(e) In addition to the twelve minutes of advertising material referred to in subsection (a), the licensee may broadcast partisan political advertising during an election period. |
|
4. The Specialty Services Regulations 1990 do not specify limits on the advertising material that a specialty service may broadcast. Such limits are instead regulated by individual conditions of licence. The addition of the above-noted subsection will give the licensee the flexibility granted conventional television broadcasters through the amendments to the Television Broadcasting Regulations, 1987 (announced in Public Notice CRTC 1995-159). |
