In Decision CRTC 2000-221, the Commission required the licensee of CHCH-TV (Hamilton) and CHEK (Victoria) to file applications for amendments to conditions of licence to incorporate the commitments made with respect to increased local programming and the non-duplicative nature of the priority programs broadcast on these stations.
