Public Notice CRTC 1999-157
|
|
The Commission has received the following applications:
|
|
ONTARIO REGION
|
|
1. SAULT STE. MARIE, HEYDEN, GARDEN RIVER AND ECHO BAY, Ontario
|
|
Application (199908232) by SHAW CABLESYSTEMS LTD., 48 O'Connor Street, Suite 1410, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 1A4.
|
|
This application requests an amendment to the licence of the cable system serving the communities noted above, by changing the mechanism by which the Commission authorizes the carriage of several US television stations.
|
|
Rather than through the existing condition of licence, the licensee requests that the Commission authorize the distribution, at the licensee's option, of WNMU-TV (PBS) Marquette, and WJRT-TV (ABC) Flint, Michigan on the basic service. This request will require the deletion of the existing condition of licence.
|
|
The licensee also requests that the Commission authorize the distribution on the basic service, at the licensee's option, of WPBN-TV (NBC) Traverse City, Michigan, instead of WNEM-TV (NBC) Bay City, which is currently distributed. According to the licensee, the signal of WNEM-TV is subject to significant deterioration and fading due to weather conditions, and the replacement of it by WPBN-TV will provide an improvement in signal quality.
