|
Music 5 |
|
|
On 24 November 2000, the Commission approved a Category 2 specialty television service to be known as Music 5. The terms and conditions generally applicable to Category 2 services are set out in the public notice accompanying this and other decisions released today. |
|
|
The applicant applied for a licence to operate a package of five separate music channels. It, nevertheless, indicated that the application was severable and that it would accept individual licences for each musical genre. To maximize flexibility for distributors in creating attractive packages of digital services, the Commission has decided to grant five separate licences. The conditions of licence set out below apply to each individual service, but do not require the licensee to implement all five licences. |
