Application Nos. 2003-0732-3, 2003-0733-1
|
|
|
Applications by BRAGG COMMUNICATIONS INCORPORATED and BAY COMMUNICATIONS INCORPORATED to amend the broadcasting licences of the cable distribution undertakings serving the above-mentioned locations.
|
|
|
The licensees propose to change their licence classification from Class 1 to Class 2. The licensees note that this request is a result of falling below the threshold of a Class 1 licensee, to fewer than 6,000 subscribers. It is requested that this change in class of licence be made retroactive to
1 September 2002.
|
|
|
The licensees note that this change in class would provide relief from the regulatory requirements of section 29(5) of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations. Section 29(5) sets out the obligations of Class 1 with respect to contributions to Canadian programming, including contributions to the Canadian production fund. Instead, the licensees would be subject to the requirements of section 29(6) which sets out the obligations of Class 2 with respect to contributions to Canadian programming. This would permit the applicants to offer all of their Canadian programming funding contributions to local expression.
