Public Notice CRTC 1999-121 |
|
The Commission has received the following application: |
|
ONTARIO REGION |
|
1. OTTAWA EAST, OTTAWA WEST AND CARP, Ontario |
|
Application (199908357) by ROGERS OTTAWA LIMITED/LIMITÉE (ROGERS) to temporarily amend the broadcasting licences for the cable distribution undertakings serving the above-noted localities during the Jerry Lewis Labour Day Telethon. The telethon is scheduled to air for a 22-hour period, from 9:00 p.m. on 5 September 1999 to 7:00 p.m. on 6 September 1999. |
|
The requested amendment would allow Rogers to interrupt the carriage of the telethon on WHEC Rochester, New York, in order to broadcast locally-produced segments. |
|
A condition of licence would be required to relieve Rogers from the requirement of subsection 7(a) of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations which states in part that: "A licensee shall not alter or delete a programming service in the course of its distribution except (a) as authorized under a condition of its licence..." |
|
Rogers also requests authority to distribute the signal of WHEC, with the locally-produced segments, on its community channel, for the duration of the telethon. Approval of this request would require a condition of licence. |
