Application by Shaw Communications Inc. (Shaw), on behalf of Videon Cablesystems Inc., to amend the broadcasting licence of the national English and French language video-on-demand programming undertaking known as Shaw On Demand.
|
|
|
Shaw requests the addition of certain conditions of licence authorizing it to distribute programming that contains commercial messages where those messages are already included in a program previously broadcast in Canada by a Canadian programming undertaking or by a non-Canadian service on the lists of eligible satellite services (the eligible lists). It further seeks to permit Shaw to charge a fee to subscribers for such programming.
|
|
|
Shaw proposes that the condition of licence pertaining to adherence to the Pay Television Regulations, 1990 be amended as follows:
|
|
|
The licensee shall adhere to the Pay Television Regulations, 1990, with the exception of section 3(2)(d) (commercial messages) and section 4 (logs and records).
|
|
|
Shaw also proposes to add the following condition of licence:
|
|
|
The licensee shall not include as part of its video-on-demand offering any program containing a commercial message except where:
|
|
|
a) the message was already included in a program previously broadcast in Canada by a Canadian programming service or a non-Canadian service on the lists of eligible satellite services; and
|
|
|
b) the program's inclusion as part of the video-on-demand offering is in accordance with the terms of a written agreement entered into with the operator of the programming service that broadcast the program.
|
|
|
Shaw states it wishes to obtain maximum flexibility to develop its on-demand service thereby increasing the variety of programming offered to its consumers.

Témiscaming and Ville-Marie, Quebec
Application No. 2007-0110-4
|
|
|
Application by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) to amend the licence of the radio programming undertaking CHLM-FM Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec.
|
|
|
The licensee proposes to add the FM transmitters CBFZ-FM Témiscaming and CBFY-FM Ville-Marie to broadcast its programming service La Première chaîne originating from CHLM-FM Rouyn-Noranda.
|
|
|
These two FM transmitters were originally licensed to the CBC as a radiocommunication distribution undertaking (RDU) to broadcast the programming of the radio station CHLM-FM Rouyn-Noranda which was licensed to Radio Nord Communications inc.
|
|
|
In Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2004-399, dated 1 September 2004, the Commission approved the application by the CBC to acquire the assets of CHLM-FM. The CBC therefore became the licensee of this station.
|
|
|
Given that the CBC is now the licensee of CHLM-FM, it no longer needs to hold a separate RDU licence for the two above-noted FM transmitters.
|
|
|
Should this application be approved by the Commission, these transmitters would be added to the licence of CHLM-FM and the above-noted RDU licence would be revoked.

|
|

|
|

The authorized contours of the station will be increased significantly as a result of the proposed increase in power.
|
|
|
The licensee states that the power increase is sought to improve its signal and to correct recurring co-channel interference problems with another station.
