Revised lists of eligible satellite services |
|
|
1. |
In Call for comments on proposals for the addition of non-Canadian satellite services to the list of services eligible for digital distribution, Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2003-36, 11 July 2003, the Commission invited comments on three separate requests by Vidéotron ltée, Rogers Cable Inc., and the Canadian Cable Television Association, acting as Canadian sponsors, to add 15 non-Canadian satellite services to the Commission's lists of eligible satellite services, for distribution on a digital basis. |
|
2. |
In Requests to add non-Canadian third-language services to the lists of eligible satellite services for distribution on a digital basis, Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2004-50, 15 July 2004 (Public Notice 2004-50), the Commission approves the addition of eight non-Canadian third-language services, consisting of five mainly Spanish-language services, one German-language service, one Romanian-language service, and one Arabic-language service. In Public Notice 2004-50, the Commission also denies requests to add six other non-Canadian third-language services. In Requests to add Al Jazeera to the lists of eligible satellite services for distribution on a digital basis, Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2004-51, 15 July 2004 (Public Notice 2004-51), the Commission approves the addition of the Arabic-language service Al Jazeera, subject to conditions set out in that public notice. |

3. |
Accordingly, in this notice, the Commission sets out revised lists of eligible satellite services reflecting the determinations in Public Notices 2004-50 and 2004-51. These lists replace those contained in Revised lists of eligible satellite services, Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2003-43, 5 August 2003, and reflect the addition of nine non-Canadian third-language services to the lists of eligible satellite services for distribution on a digital basis. |
|
