  1. Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec
    Application No. 2009-1535-8

Application by Télé Inter-Rives ltée to amend the broadcasting licence for the television programming undertaking CIMT-TV Rivière-du-Loup, a TVA French-language national television network affiliate, to exempt CIMT-TV from the requirement to furnish complete program logs and records to the Commission.

According to the licensee, the program logs and records of CIMT-TV are largely true copies of those furnished by TVA (CFTM-TV Montréal), with the exception of local segments. Accordingly, the licensee is asking the Commission to exempt it from the requirement to furnish complete program logs and records to the Commission, where the station’s programming is the same as that of CFTM-TV Montréal. However, the licensee would continue to file logs for local programs broadcast by CIMT-TV.

The licensee would agree to commit, by condition of licence, to use the Commission’s existing program logs computer system to validate CIMT-TV’s requirements concerning local programming, closed captioning, audio description and video description.

The licensee submits that its application is consistent with Amendments to the Television Broadcasting Regulations, 1987, the Pay Television Regulations, 1990 and the Specialty Services Regulations, 1990 – Requirements for the furnishing of program logs and records, Broadcasting Public Notice 2006-109, 25 August 2006, in which the Commission amended regulations to exempt certain licensees, by condition of licence, from the requirements related to the furnishing of program logs and records, in certain circumstances.

Further, the licensee proposes that CIMT-TV’s logs be furnished to the Commission quarterly (and not on a monthly basis) and contain the information required for each month in the quarter. The quarterly logs would follow the broadcast year, and the first quarter of each broadcast year would begin on September 1.

A true copy must be sent to the applicant, and proof that this has been done must accompany the intervention sent to the Commission.

The Commission advises those who file and serve by electronic mode to exercise caution when using e-mail for service of documents or notification, as it may be difficult to establish that service has occurred.
