20. ALLIANCE ATLANTIS COMMUNICATIONS INC., ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY TO BE INCORPORATED (199910815) - SERVICE TO BE CALLED "FOOD NETWORK CANADA INC."
|
|
Application by ALLIANCE ATLANTIS COMMUNICATIONS INC. (AACI), on behalf of a company to be incorporated, for a broadcasting licence to carry on an English-language national programming undertaking (television specialty service) to be distributed on a discretionary basis via direct-to-home (DTH) satellite and cable broadcasting distribution undertakings (BDU) in either analog or digital mode. The service would provide programming about food and nutrition.
|
|
Food Network Canada is the result of a tri-partite agreement between AACI, Corus Entertainment Inc. (Corus) and Television Food Network G.P. (TVFN).
|
|
As part of the agreement, TVFN, which owns the American specialty service Food Network, has committed to request removal of its service, which is currently carried by some broadcasting distribution undertakings, from the Eligible Lists of Satellite Services once the proposed Canadian service launches.
|
|
According to the applicant, the proposed service is in the same genre as, and is intended to replace, the Food Network (U.S.) service.
|
|
The applicant proposes that the access rules apply insofar as they may be used to ensure analog carriage on all Class 1 BDUs which are carrying Food Network (U.S.) on analog at the time the proposed service is licensed.
|
|
With respect to those Class 1 BDU systems which are not carrying the American service on analog at that time, the applicant proposes to waive the benefit of the access rules and not enforce analog carriage on such systems. However, the applicant expects to be accorded the benefit of any access policy with respect to digital carriage on all BDU systems.
|
|
If the service is licensed, the applicant proposes to charge a basic carriage wholesale rate of $0.12 per subscriber per month.
