Public Notice CRTC 1999-171 |
|
The Commission has received the following applications: |
|
WESTERN CANADA AND TERRITORIES REGION |
|
1. REGINA, Saskatchewan |
|
Application (199905428) by REGINA CABLEVISION CO-OPERATIVE in respect to its cable distribution undertaking serving Regina. |
|
Section 29 of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations (the Regulations) provides that a Class 1 broadcasting distribution undertaking (BDU) must contribute at least 5% of its gross revenues derived from broadcasting activities to Canadian programming unless a condition of licence provides otherwise. BDUs may use a portion of this contribution to support local expression, such as the community channel, if they elect to provide such a service. The balance of the 5% contribution must be paid to funds that support the production of Canadian programming. The specific split between the amount of money that supports local expression and the amount of money to be directed to production funds varies according to the class of the undertaking and the number of subscribers. The Regina undertaking is a Class 1 with more than 20,000, but fewer than 60,000 subscribers. |
|
The licensee requests permission to allocate the greater of $1.2 million or 2% of its yearly gross revenues derived from its broadcasting activities to local expression, i.e. community programming, instead of using the formula set out in the Regulations. The remainder, if any, would be directed as a contribution to Canadian programming, as defined in Section 29(2) of the regulations. |
|
Approval of this application would require a condition of licence. |

|
In Decision CRTC 98-477, dated 5 October 1998, the Commission approved Peace River's application for a new FM radio programming undertaking at High Level. The decision noted that Peace River would surrender its authority for CKHL High Level, when the new station went on air. |
