Public Hearing in the National Capital Region

| |
Transfer of assets – Corporate reorganization
|
|
1. |
The Commission approves the
application by CTV Television Inc. (CTV Television), on behalf of a
corporation to be incorporated, to effect a corporate reorganization
that will result in the transfer of the assets of the English-language
specialty programming undertaking Talk TV, to a wholly-owned subsidiary
of CTV Television. The applicant also requested a broadcasting licence
to operate the undertaking under the same terms and conditions as those
in effect under the existing licence. |
|
2. |
The Commission notes that the ultimate
control of Talk TV will remain unchanged and will continue to be
exercised by BCE Inc. through Bell Globemedia Inc. |
|
3. |
The Commission did not receive any
interventions in connection with this application. |
|
4. |
The licence will expire 31 August 2010, the
current licence expiry date, and will be subject to the same terms and
conditions as those currently in effect. |
|
5. |
The Commission will issue a broadcasting
licence to CTV Television Inc., on behalf of a corporation to be
incorporated, once: |
| |
- the current licence has been surrendered to the Commission; and
|
| |
- the applicant has satisfied the Commission, with supporting
documentation, that an eligible Canadian corporation has been
incorporated in accordance with the application in all material
respects.
|
|
6. |
Because this licensee is subject to the
Employment Equity Act and files reports concerning employment equity
with the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development,
its employment equity practices are not examined by the Commission. |
