NOTICE:
2000-173-1
Proposals to amend the lists of eligible satellite services through the
inclusion of additional non-Canadian services eligible for distribution on a
digital basis only. Following Public Notice CRTC 2000-173,
the Commission received a proposal by the Canadian Cable Television
Association (CCTA) to add a number of non-Canadian programming services to
the lists of eligible satellite services (the lists). While the proposal was
received by the deadline of 12 January, the CCTA indicated it would be unable
to file all of the required documentation before 12 February 2001. The
Commission has approved the CCTA's request to extend the deadline until that
date. The publication of all proposed additions to the lists originally planned
for 26 January is therefore delayed.
