Background |
|
|
2. 9; |
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, clarifies the conditions under which a broadcasting distribution undertaking may alter or delete a programming service that it distributes. |
|
3. 9; |
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 these applications in response to that public notice in which the Commission indicated that it expected to deal with all such requests by 1 March 2000. Access, however, submitted its applications well after that date. The Commission reminds the licensee of the importance of fulfilling its obligations in a timely matter. |
