The licences will be in effect from 1 September 2001 to 31 August 2008. |

Conditions of licence |

The licensee shall operate each of CKNC-TV, CHNB-TV, CFCL-TV, CJIC-TV and their transmitters as an affiliate of the English-language television network operated by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. |
|
|
6. |
With respect to those of its undertakings that broadcast predominantly CTV network programming, the licensee shall, in each broadcast year starting with that beginning 1 September 2003, caption 90% of all programming broadcast during the broadcast day, including 100% of all category 1 - News programming. |
|
|
7. |
With respect to CKNY-TV-11 Huntsville, the licensee may broadcast no more than 6.5% of the commercial availabilities on this station separately from those broadcast on CKNY-TV North Bay, for each hour of station-produced programming broadcast exclusively on the Huntsville station each week. |
|
|
Expectations and commitments |
||
|
8. |
As noted above, certain of these undertakings operate as affiliates of the CBC television network. As discussed in Decision CRTC 2001-457, and in line with the level of captioned programming currently required of the CBC, the Commission expects the licensee to provide captioning for at least 90% of all programming aired on each of CKNC-TV, CHNB-TV, CFCL-TV, CJIC-TV during the broadcast day, including 100% of all category 1 - News programming. |
|
|
9. |
Until 1 September 2003, the Commission expects the licensee to, at a minimum, maintain the current level of closed captioning on CICI-TV, CKNY-TV, CKNY-TV-11, CITO-TV and CHBX-TV. |
|
|
10. |
The Commission notes the licensee's commitment to provide a minimum combined total of 15.5 hours per week of local programming to the communities served by the MCTV stations. |
|
|
11. |
With respect to CKNY-TV-11 Huntsville, some 14 hours per week of the local programming will originate with CKNY-TV North Bay or with other stations in the MCTV group. The licensee, however, made the further commitment to broadcast approximately one and a half hours per week of separate programming directed to Huntsville. |
|
|
12. |
The licensee confirmed as an additional commitment that the MCTV stations, collectively, will control the allocation of a minimum of $50,000 in development funds that will be made available to independent producers in the local market on an annual basis. |
