Call for comments on a proposed framework for the sale of commercial advertising in the local availabilities of non-Canadian services – Requests for deferral of proceeding |
||
| The Commission calls for comments on requests from the Canadian Association of Broadcasters and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that it defer for a minimum of 12 months the proceeding announced in Broadcasting Public Notice 2008-102. The deadline for the receipt of comments is 2 January 2009. | ||
1. |
In Broadcasting Public Notice 2008-102, the Commission called for comments on a proposed framework for the sale of commercial advertising in the local availabilities of non-Canadian services. The deadline for filing comments established in that proceeding is 15 January 2009. The deadline for the filing of replies is 19 February 2009. | |

The Commission has received a request from the Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB), dated 9 December 2008, that it defer for a minimum of 12 months the proceeding announced in Broadcasting Public Notice 2008-102. In its request, the CAB noted that a number of other regulatory proceedings are currently underway, including the accessibility hearing, the minority-language service hearing, the proceeding initiated in Broadcasting Public Notice 2008-101 and the new media proceeding. In support of its request, the CAB cited "these other proceedings and related deadlines, the present state of the economy, and the current lack of credible information on which the Commission could rely." The CAB argued, in particular, that there is a lack of information respecting new forms of advertising. | |

The Commission has also received a request from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), dated 12 December 2008, that it defer by 12 months the proceeding announced in Broadcasting Public Notice 2008-102. In support of its request, the CBC cited considerations that include other regulatory proceedings occurring in the same time frame. It also stated that most initiatives arising out of the new regulatory frameworks announced in Broadcasting Public Notice 2008-100 will not come into effect until the end of August 2011, and argued that there is thus no need to "fast track" this proceeding. Finally, the CBC submitted that this proceeding deals with the issue of advertising at a time when "the advertising market for all broadcasters, including CBC/Radio-Canada, has become very challenging." | |
