Public Notice CRTC 1999-115
|
|
The Commission has received the following applications:
|
|
1. ACROSS CANADA
|
|
Application (199907424) by CTV SPORTS NET INC. (SPORTS NET) to amend the broadcasting licence for its national English-language specialty programming undertaking known as Sports Net. Approval of the application would permit Sports Net to deliver multiple feeds to a single broadcasting distribution undertaking on a digital-only basis.

9 Channel Court Toronto, Ontario M1S 4B5 |
|
2. ACROSS CANADA
|
|
Application (199813283) by THE PARTNERS OF PRIME TV (Prime TV)
|
|
Prime TV proposes to amend the broadcasting licence for its specialty programming undertaking by replacing the condition of licence which specifies that television series in category 7 (Drama) (a,b,c,f) broadcast by the licensee shall have been copyrighted at least ten years prior to the broadcast year in which they are aired. Instead, Prime TV proposes the following:
|
|
1b) The television programs in category 7 (Drama) (a,b,c,f) broadcast by the licensee shall exclude foreign programming broadcast by affiliates of foreign conventional networks distributed in Canada during the same year.
|
|
The licensee indicated that the existing condition prevents it from airing recent Canadian dramatic programs and forces it to spend on non-drama programming which is less attractive to audiences.
