CALL FOR COMMENTS ON A REQUEST TO ADD SASKATCHEWAN COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK CORPORATION (SCN) TO THE LISTS OF ELIGIBLE SATELLITE SERVICES
|
|
|
The Commission has received a request from Saskatchewan Communications Network Corporation (SCN), 2440 Broad Street, 3rd Floor, Regina, Saskatchewan, S4P 3V7 to have its signal (CSCN-TV) added to both Appendix "A"- List of "Part 2 Eligible Satellite Services" and Appendix "B"- List of "Eligible Satellite Services".
|
|
|
In Saskatchewan Communications Network Corporation, Decision CRTC 91-98, 14 February 1991, the Commission licensed SCN to operate a non-commercial English-language television network operation in Regina, Saskatchewan for the distribution of educational programming via satellite.
|
|
|
Pursuant to section 17 of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations, Class 1 and 2 distribution undertakings in Saskatchewan must distribute CSCN-TV as part of their basic service. This request, if approved, would permit Class 1 and Class 2 distribution undertakings located elsewhere in Canada to distribute CSCN-TV, at their discretion, without prior Commission approval. Further, the approval of this request would permit all Class 3 distribution undertakings located throughout Canada to distribute CSCN-TV as part of either the basic service or on a discretionary tier without prior Commission approval provided that SCN does not object to such distribution.
