Preamble
The Commission has received 20 licence renewal applications from pay-per-view, video-on-demand and specialty services as well as community television stations operating under licences that expire on 31 August 2014. As part of its examination of these applications, the Commission will consider the licensees’ requests with respect to their regulatory requirements (e.g. conditions of licence), address apparent noncompliance issues and determine the length of the next licence terms. The Commission notes that it may decide to issue licence terms of varying lengths or adopt other measures, such as the imposition of new conditions of licence depending on a number of factors, including the requests made by the applicant, non-compliance issues and interventions received in response to this notice.
The applications are organized into the following groups:
a) Terrestrial pay-per-view television services
A pay-per-view (PPV) service is a scheduled programming service that is provided to subscribers on a pay-per-view basis. A terrestrial PPV service may only be distributed by a terrestrial broadcasting distribution service (BDU), such as a cable or digital subscriber line-based service.
b) Direct-to-home pay-per-view television services
A direct-to-home (DTH) PPV service is a PPV that may only distributed by a DTH satellite BDU.
c) Video-on-demand services
Video-on-demand services allow viewers to select individual programs to view at the time of their own choosing. While the programs on these services are normally offered on a per-program basis for a fee, they may also be offered for free or be included as part of the offering of a linear pay or specialty service.
d) Specialty Category B services
Specialty Category B (formerly Category 2) services offer programming in a particular genre. Category B services are not necessarily made available by all BDUs as their distribution is secured through terms and conditions negotiated between BDUs and the programming services.

Procedure
Deadline for interventions, comments or answers
2 May 2014
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure, SOR/2010-277 (the Rules of Procedure), set out, among other things, the rules for content, format, filing and service of interventions, the procedure for filing confidential information and requesting its disclosure, and the conduct of public hearings. Accordingly, the procedure set out below must be read in conjunction with the Rules of Procedure and its accompanying documents, which can be found on the Commission’s website under “CRTC Rules of Practice and Procedure.”
An intervention or answer from a respondent must be received by the Commission and by the applicant on or before the above-mentioned date. An answer from a respondent must also be served on any other respondent.
In accordance with the Rules of Procedure, a document must be filed with, not merely sent to, the Commission by 5 p.m. Vancouver time (8 p.m. Ottawa time) on the date it is due. The Commission takes no responsibility for postal delays and will not notify a party whose submission is received after the deadline date. Late submissions will not be considered by the Commission and will not be made part of the public file.
Interventions and answers from respondents will be considered by the Commission and will form part of the public record of the proceeding without further notification to parties, provided the procedures set out in the Rules of Procedure and this notice have been followed. Parties will be contacted only if their submissions raise procedural questions.
Submissions must be filed by sending them to the Secretary General of the Commission by only one of the following means:
by using the
[Intervention/comment/answer form]
or
by mail to
CRTC, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2
or
by fax at
819-994-0218
A true copy of each intervention or answer from a respondent must be sent to the applicant and, in the case of a respondent to an application, to any other respondent.
The Commission advises those who file and serve by electronic mode to exercise caution when using e-mail for service of documents, as it may be difficult to establish that service has occurred.
Parties must ensure that, before initiating service through electronic mode, they will be able to satisfy the Commission, upon request, that service was completed. The sender must keep proof of the sending and the receipt of the document for 180 days after the day on which it is filed.
Submissions longer than five pages should include a summary.
Each paragraph of the submission should be numbered. In addition, where the intervention is filed by electronic means, the line ***End of document*** should be entered following the last paragraph of the document, as an indication that the document has not been altered during electronic transmission.
Interventions and answers should clearly identify the application referred to and indicate whether parties support or oppose the application, or, if they propose changes to it, include the facts and grounds for their proposal.
Important notice
All information that parties provide as part of this public process, except information designated confidential, whether sent by postal mail, facsimile, e-mail or through the Commission’s website at www.crtc.gc.ca, becomes part of a publicly accessible file and will be posted on the Commission’s website. This information includes personal information, such as full names, e-mail addresses, postal/street addresses, telephone and facsimile numbers, and any other personal information parties provide.
The personal information that parties provide will be used and may be disclosed for the purpose for which the information was obtained or compiled by the Commission, or for a use consistent with that purpose.
Documents received electronically or otherwise will be put on the Commission’s website in their entirety exactly as received, including any personal information contained therein, in the official language and format in which they are received. Documents not received electronically will be available in PDF format.
The information that parties provide to the Commission as part of this public process is entered into an unsearchable database dedicated to this specific public process. This database is accessible only from the web page of this particular public process. As a result, a general search of the Commission’s website with the help of either its own search engine or a third-party search engine will not provide access to the information that was provided as part of this public process.
The Commission encourages parties and interested persons to monitor the record of the proceeding, available on the Commission’s website, for additional information that they may find useful when preparing their submissions.

Electronic versions of the applications are available on the Commission’s website at www.crtc.gc.ca by selecting the application number within this notice. They are also available from the applicants, either on their websites or upon request by contacting the applicants at their email addresses, provided above.
