|
Sunshine Communications Ltd. |
|
|
20 November 2000 Public Hearing |
|
|
Acquisition of assets |
|
|
1. |
The Commission approves the applications for authority to acquire the assets of the cable distribution undertakings serving Greenwood and Midway, from Boundary Cable Ltd., and for broadcasting licences to continue the operation of these undertakings. |
|
2. |
The Commission will issue Class 3 licences to Sunshine Communications Ltd., expiring 31 August 2007, upon surrender of the current licences. The operation of these undertakings will be regulated pursuant to the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations (the regulations). The licences will be subject to the conditions specified in this decision and to any other condition that may be specified in the licences to be issued. |
|
3. |
The purchase price relating to this transaction is $54,000. Based on the evidence filed with the applications, the Commission has no concerns with respect to the availability or the adequacy of the required financing. |
|
4. |
With respect to the Midway undertaking, the licensee is relieved, by condition of licence, from the requirement of section 32(1)(b) of the regulations to distribute CKKM-TV Oliver, a regional programming service, due to the poor quality of the signal. The licensee will distribute instead CHAN-TV (CTV) Vancouver. |
|
5. |
The signals that the licensee is authorized to distribute may be received by direct reception, or from any Canadian broadcasting distribution undertaking (licensed or exempted) which is authorized to provide signals to other distributors. |
|
6. |
It is a condition of each licence that, for community programming and any other programming of a service that it originates, the licensee adhere to the guidelines on the depiction of violence in television programming set out in the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' Voluntary code regarding violence in television programming, as amended from time to time and approved by the Commission. |
|
7. |
The Commission encourages the licensee to consider employment equity issues in its hiring practices and in all other aspects of its management of human resources (PN 1992-59). |
