|
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR A BROADCASTING LICENCE TO CARRY ON A TELEVISION PROGRAMMING UNDERTAKING TO SERVE ALL OR ANY ONE OF TORONTO, HAMILTON AND KITCHENER, Ontario |

|
The Commission announces that it has received applications for broadcasting licences to carry on television programming undertakings to provide television services to serve Toronto, Hamilton and Kitchener. |
|
|
The Commission hereby calls for applications from other parties wishing to obtain broadcasting licences to provide television services to all or any one of Toronto, Hamilton and Kitchener. |
|
|
The Commission has issued a call for comments on a licensing framework for low-power community television undertakings (Public Notice CRTC 2000-127). The Commission does not consider it appropriate to proceed with applications for low-power television undertakings until a new low-power television licensing framework has been released. Accordingly, the public process which follows this call will not consider applications for low-power television undertakings. |
|
|
Persons interested in submitting such an application are required to file a letter of intent no later than 9 July 2001, followed by a formal application to the Commission no later than 8 August 2001, and are also required to submit all necessary technical documentation to the Department of Industry by the same date. |
|
|
It should be noted that, in making this call, the Commission has not reached any conclusion with respect to the licensing of such a service, nor should it necessarily be construed that the Commission will, by virtue of having called for applications, authorize such a service at this time. |
|
|
Applicants will be required to provide evidence giving clear indication that there is a demand and a market for the station and the proposed service. Without restricting the scope of the issues to be considered, the following should be addressed: |

|
|
The Commission will announce at a later date the public process where applications will be considered and where they may be examined by the public. |
|
|
Notice of each application will also be published in newspapers of general circulation within the area to be served. |
|
|
The public will be given the opportunity to comment on any application by submitting written intervention(s) to the Secretary General of the Commission (CRTC, Ottawa, K1A 0N2) and by serving a true copy of the intervention(s) on the applicant(s) at least twenty-five (25) days before the date of the hearing. |
