Re : Part 1 application from Blue Ant Media Inc. Footnote1 to reduce its condition of licence relating programs of national interest (PNI) from 13.5% to 5%.
Ms. Zimmer,
On 23 May 2019, Blue Ant filed a letter in the above noted application requesting an extension of time of 7 days to provide responses to the questions sent to the licensee on 9 May 2019. The current deadline for this response is 27 May 2019. Blue Ant argued that such an extension is necessary because its programming and financial teams attended the a program purchasing event in Los Angeles from May 12-22 and because they are also involved in a budgeting process in preparation for the 2019/20 broadcast year.
In light of the above, a 7 day extension to Blue Ant to provide replies to the questions sent on 9 May 2018 is granted. The deadline is therefore amended to 3 June, 2019. The requested extension will also result in an extension of the deadlines for intervenors to consult and comment on the additional information and for Blue Ant to provide a reply to those interventions. The timelines will therefore be amended as follows:
| Interventions | Intervention deadline |
|---|---|
| Intervenors | 14 June 2019 |
| Final reply from the Applicant | 25 June 2019 |
Should you need further information concerning this request for information, please do not hesitate to contact me by e-mail manon.auger@crtc.gc.ca or by telephone at 819-639-3481.
Yours truly,
