·2 a second set of signals that provides the programming of the four U.S. commercial networks (CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX) and the non-commercial PBS network (hereafter referred to as the U.S. 4+1 signals).

  The distribution on a discretionary basis on the licensee's digital service of a second set of U.S. 4+1 signals and distant Canadian signals is subject to the provision that, with respect to such signals, the licensee adhere to the requirements regarding non-simultaneous program deletion set out in section 43 of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations. The Commission may suspend the application of this provision upon its approval of an executed agreement between the licensee and broadcasters. Such an agreement must deal with issues related to the protection of program rights arising in connection with the discretionary carriage of a second set of U.S. 4+1 signals and distant Canadian signals solely on the licensee's digital service.
 

b) The licensee is authorized to receive, directly through its own facilities, at its option, any of the distant Canadian signals and U.S. 4+1 signals that are otherwise required to be received from a licensed satellite relay distribution undertaking. The licensee is not authorized to use any facilities other than its own for the reception of these signals. This condition does not authorize the licensee to provide these services to any other licensed or exempt distribution undertaking.

 

c) The licensee is authorized to distribute, at its option, the audio programming services of KPBX-FM, KMBI-FM (religious), KXLY-FM, KISC-FM, KDRK-FM, KAEP-FM, and KZZU-FM Spokane, Washington, on audio channels of the undertaking.

  Videon also requests amendments to certain condition of licence. Further details are available in the application.
  The Commission notes that on two separate occasions during the current licence term, it found the licensee in non-compliance with section 27(1) of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations as a result of its distribution of disallowed sponsorship messages on its community channel. The Commission will take this into consideration during the licence renewal process.
