PREAMBLE |
||||
|
At the 10 April 2002 public hearing the Commission will examine applications to renew the licences of 4 local television stations owned by Craig Broadcast Systems Inc. and Craig Broadcasting Alberta Inc. (Craig). In Public Notice CRTC 1999-97: Building on Success - A Policy Framework for Canadian Television (TV Policy), the Commission announced that it would begin renewing all of the conventional licences held or controlled by a multi-station ownership group at the same time. Multi-station ownership groups exist where more than one conventional television station is owned or controlled by the same person or entity. The first of such groups to be renewed were the "large ownership groups" - those licensed to operate in several provinces with a potential reach of more than 70% of the audience in their language of operation - CTV Television Inc. (Decision CRTC 2001-457) and Global Television Network Ltd. (Decision CRTC 2001-458) renewed in 2001. In this proceeding, the Commission will consider how to address Craig as a multi-station ownership group in light of the TV Policy. |
||||
|
In the TV Policy, the Commission pointed out that the smaller station groups, like Craig, generally offer program schedules that differ from those of the largest groups. Further, the smaller groups were encouraged to remain distinctive and to experiment with new genres of Canadian programming and new ways of meeting the needs of their audiences. The TV Policy provided flexibility in that regard. |
||||
|
The TV Policy also provides that, at renewal, the Commission will consider a multi-station group's corporate strategy, the methods of implementation of that strategy by individual stations, and the contributions of all aspects of a licensee's operations to the broadcasting system. While the Commission does not necessarily entertain the renewal of specialty service licences at the same time as a multi-station group's conventional licences, it will take into account such group holdings in evaluating and renewing a group's conventional licences. |
||||
|
With respect to programming undertakings, Craig is the licensee of four conventional television stations, two of which are in Alberta (CKEM-TV Edmonton and CKAL-TV Calgary), and two of which are in Manitoba (CHMI-TV Portage La Prairie and CKX-TV Brandon). CKX-TV Brandon is a CBC affiliate. Craig holds licenses to operate one Category 1 digital specialty programming undertaking and thirteen Category 2 digital specialty programming undertakings (to date, two of these Category 2 services have been launched). |
||||
|
Guided by the flexible framework that the TV Policy provides, the Commission intends to consider, among other things, the following issues at the hearing: |
||||
|
a) Group Synergies |
||||
|
Under the TV Policy, the Commission takes into account all of a group's holdings in evaluating and renewing a group's conventional licences. The Commission intends to pursue questions such as: |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
The TV Policy broadened the definition of what is now termed "priority programming". The policy also introduced more flexibility for broadcasters to address the needs and expectations of Canadian audiences and to provide high-quality and diverse Canadian programming in peak time. The Commission intends to pursue questions such as: |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
c) Regional Reflection |
||||
|
In its TV Policy, the Commission noted that audiences have a strong desire for a better reflection of Canada's regions to the country as a whole. Given that Craig currently holds conventional television stations in two provinces, the Commission intends to pursue questions such as: |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
d) Local Reflection |
||||
|
While the Commission no longer requires applicants to make quantitative commitments to local news programs, the TV policy requires all licensees to demonstrate how they will meet the demands and reflect the particular concerns of their local audiences, whether through local news or other local programming. The Commission intends to pursue questions such as: |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
e) Cultural Diversity |
||||
|
In the TV Policy, the Commission stated that it expects conventional television licensees, at licence renewal, to make specific commitments to initiatives designed to ensure that they contribute to a system that more accurately reflects the presence of cultural and racial minorities and Aboriginal peoples in the communities they serve. Licensees are expected to ensure that the on-screen portrayal of all minority groups is accurate, fair and non-stereotypical. The Commission intends to pursue questions such as: |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
f) Service to the Visually Impaired |
||||
|
In the TV Policy, the Commission stated that, at licence renewal, it would explore with licensees the progress that has been made in meeting the needs of the visually impaired. The Commission intends to pursue questions such as: |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
