Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2002-9

Ottawa, 18 February 2002

Revised lists of eligible satellite services

The Commission is making minor revisions to its Lists of Eligible Satellite Services. The four lists appended to this public notice supersede the lists appended to Public Notice CRTC 2001-82 dated 13 July 2001.

Withdrawal of The Health Network and change of name for Speedvision

1.

In Decision CRTC 2000-461 dated 24 November 2000, the Commission approved an application by Atlantis Broadcasting Inc. to operate a new English-language Category 1 specialty television service called Health Network Canada. Pursuant to an agreement between Alliance Atlantis Broadcasting Inc. and WebMD International LLC filed with the application, WebMD International agreed to request withdrawal of the U.S. service The Health Network from the Lists of Eligible Satellite Services upon the launch of the Canadian service.

2.

The Commission has been informed that the Canadian service has launched. It has also received a letter from Discovery Health Channel, which now controls the U.S. health service, asking that the The Health Network be withdrawn from the Commission's lists. The Commission has therefore withdrawn The Health Network from its List of Part 2 Eligible Satellite Services (Appendix A), List of Part 3 Eligible Satellite Services (Appendix B) and List of DTH Eligible Satellite Services (Appendix C).

3.

Secondly, the Commission has recently received a letter from Speedvision Network informing it that its U.S. service has changed its name to Speed Channel. Speedvision Network stated in its letter that this is only a change of name and not a change in the programming format of the service. Speed Channel was listed on the Commission's lists under the name Speedvision. The Commission has amended its three aforementioned lists to reflect the change of name from Speedvision to Speed Channel.
