| Application by Canwest Television GP Inc. (the general partner) and Canwest Media Inc. (the limited partner), carrying business as Canwest Television Limited Partnership (Canwest) to amend the above noted broadcasting licences of television programming undertakings in order to increase their flexibility in fulfilling their described video programming commitments. | ||
| In Accessibility of telecommunications and broadcasting services, Broadcasting and Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2009-430, 21 July 2009, the Commission invited conventional broadcasters to apply to amend their licences in order to provide these broadcasters with a measure of flexibility and to take into account requests from persons with disabilities for a wider choice of described programming. The Commission considered it appropriate to add two more categories of programming to those that licensees of conventional television stations may use to fulfil their commitments for described video: 9 (Variety) and 11 (General entertainment and human interest). | ||
| Accordingly, Canwest requests the addition of programming categories 9 (Variety) and 11 (General Entertainment and Human Interest) to the list of categories from which it can draw programming in order to meet its described video requirements. | ||
| The licensee proposes to replace the condition of licence relating to described video which reads: | ||
|
||
|
||
| In fulfilling this condition, a minimum of 50% of the required hours must be original broadcasts. Further, the licensee may broadcast up to one hour per week of described children's programming at an appropriate children's viewing time. | ||
| With the following: | ||
|
||
|
||
|
||
| In fulfilling this condition, a minimum of 50% of the required hours must be original broadcasts. Further, the licensee may broadcast up to one hour per week of described children’s programming at an appropriate children’s viewing time. | ||

Saltspring Island, British Columbia Application No. 2009-0996-3 |
||
| Application by Rogers Broadcasting Limited to amend the broadcasting licence of the English-language commercial FM radio programming undertaking CIOC-FM Victoria, British Columbia. | ||
| The licensee proposes to add an FM transmitter at Saltspring Island, British Columbia to broadcast the programming of CIOC-FM Victoria, British Columbia in order to improve reception quality within the existing coverage area of CIOC-FM. | ||
| The transmitter would operate on frequency 98.5 MHz (channel 253C1) with an average effective radiated power (ERP) of 635 watts (maximum ERP of 3,500 watts with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of 662 metres). | ||
| This would be a synchronous repeater, using the same frequency as CIOC-FM. | ||
| The licensee states that a transmitter located on Saltspring Island would be the optimal solution to correcting the reception deficiencies of CIOC-FM to the north of its coverage area. | ||
