Across Canada
Application No. 2004-1036-6
  Application by Aboriginal Peoples Television Network Incorporated (APTN) to renew the licence of its satellite-to-cable programming undertakingand its transmitters listed below, expiring 31 August 2005.
  The applicant requests that the licence be renewed for a full seven-year term subject to the same terms and conditions as currently applied, with the exception of the following proposals:
 

- to increase the minimum level of Canadian programming to be broadcast on the service from 70% to 75%;

 

- to increase the authorized maximum fee charged to distributors for the carriage of APTN as part of the basic service by $0.10 per subscriber per month. The additional revenues will primarily be used to increase the quality and quantity of Canadian programs;

           - to split the feed of its southern signal into two distinct eastern and western
            regions.
  APTN expects that terrestrial distribution undertakings that must distribute its service (i.e. Class 1 and Class 2 undertakings, including MDS) would be required to distribute either the Eastern or the Western feed, depending on their location. APTN believes that it would be appropriate for the Commission to require the two national Direct-to-home undertakings to carry both the Eastern and the Western feeds.
  By the end of the proposed licence term, APTN also expects that it will be fully high definition (HDTV) capable and will commission some of its major series in this format.
