Subject : Interpretation of the condition of licence 6(c) in Decision CRTC 2009-599

 

Dear Ms. Migneault :

 

In your email, dated 3 December 2009, addressed to Mr. Frédéric B. Janelle, Senior Analyst, you are expressing concern regarding the interpretation of the condition of licence 6(c) mentioned in the broadcasting decision CRTC 2009-599 (ARTV- Licence amendment).

In Public Notice 2008-100, the Commission stated that it would establish a standard limitation of 10% of the broadcast month for a number of programming categories, including 6(a) Professional Sports and 8(c) Music video programs.

Therefore, condition of licence 6(c) should be interpreted in accordance with this policy: that ARTV shall not devote more than 10% of all programming to each of the above-mentioned categories.

We would like to advise you that this letter will be filed in the public record of ARTV’s licence amendment, application 2009-0620-9.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Peter Foster                                                                           

Director General
