Application by CANAL ÉVASION INC. to amend the conditions of licence of the national French-language specialty television service known as Canal Évasion.
|
|

The licensee proposes to amend the following conditions of licence:
|
|
- to reduce the distribution of Canadian programming from 60% of the broadcast day and 60% of the evening period to not less than 45% of the broadcast day and the evening period;
|
|
|
- to increase the amount of its annual budget for acquiring the rights to original Canadian programming on programs produced by companies that are shareholders or affiliated companies from 25% to 45% until the end of the current licence term;
|
|
|
- to reduce the percentage of gross revenues devoted to investment in Canadian programming from 50% to 42% for an interim period ending 31 August 2007; and
|
|
|
- to amend the nature of its service by adding program category 10, Game Shows, to the list of categories that the licensee is authorized to distribute.
|
|
|
In its application, the licensee also proposes increasing the gross monthly rate from $0.49 to $0.80. The Commission notes that, as indicated in paragraph 16 of CRTC Decision 99-112, the $0.49 gross monthly rate is not regulated by the Commission, however, the rate should be negotiated with the distributors.

Donnacona, Quebec
Application No. 2002-0837-3 (e)
|
|
|
Application by GENEX COMMUNICATIONS INC. relating to radio CKNU-FM Donnacona, to delete the condition of licence set out in Decision CRTC 98-502, restricting the solicitation of advertising to the Portneuf area.
|
|
|
This application was filed following Decision CRTC 2002-190, July 16, 2002, in which the Commission, by majority vote, denied the application by Genex Communications Inc. to amend the broadcasting licence of CKNU-FM Donnaconna to expand the station's contour to include Quebec City, amend the condition of licence restricting the solicitation of advertising and amend the condition of licence related to local programming.
|
|
|
With respect to the application, the applicant submits that deleting the condition of licence restricting the solicitation of advertising to the Portneuf area would serve the public interest in Portneuf and at the same time allow the station to access a larger advertising pool, i.e., Quebec City.
|
|
|
The applicant states that this application:
|
|
|
1) responds to the need to improve the station's financial position;
|
|
|
2) will allow the station to meet the needs of a section of the Portneuf audience who shop for goods and services in Quebec City; and
|
|
|
3) makes allowance for the economic situation of Quebec City, an area bordering the Portneuf area that constitutes the service area of CKNU-FM.
