Public Notice CRTC 2000-32
dated 1 March 2000
  Licence amendment that will allow the licensee to continue channel sharing with two programming services
  In Public Notice CRTC 1999-186 dated 19 November 1999, the Commission announced an amendment to section 7 of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations. The amendment, which came into force on 1 March 2000, narrows the conditions under which a broadcasting distribution undertaking may alter or delete a programming service that it distributes.
  In PN 1999-186, the Commission invited licensees currently altering or deleting a programming service in accordance with channel-sharing agreements to apply for authorization to continue doing so. The applicant submitted this application in response to that public notice.
  The licence amendment
  The Commission approves the applications to amend the broadcasting licence for the cable distribution undertaking serving the communities noted above by adding the following condition of licence:
 

The licensee is relieved from the requirement of section 7 of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations that it not alter or delete a programming service in the course of its distribution, except as provided below. The licensee may alter or curtail the programming services of WeatherNow and Viewers Choice 2 for the purposes of sharing certain channels in accordance with the licensee's agreements with the operators of these programming services.
