|
Application by CANAL ÉVASION INC. to amend the licence of the
French-language national specialty television service known as
"Canal Évasion". |
|
The licensee proposes to change condition of licence 1(b)
relating to program categories which currently reads as follows: |
|
Nature of service |
|
1(b) ninety percent of the programming must be drawn from
category 5b (Education - Informal) and 10% from category 11 (Human
interest), as set out in Schedule I of the Specialty Services
Regulations, 1990. |
|
The licensee is requesting the following amendments: |
|
Programming will be drawn from the following program categories: |
|
1 News
2a Analysis and interpretation
2b Long-form documentary
5b Informal education/recreation and leisure
7c Specials, mini-series, made-for-TV feature films
7d Theatrical feature films aired on TV
8a Music and dance other than music video programs or clips
8b Music video clips
9 Variety

shareholder in Travel TV is Bell Globemedia Inc., which is also the
majority shareholder in Canal Évasion. Canal Évasion has agreed to
all the limitations already imposed on Travel TV. |
|
Reasons for the requested amendment: |
|
Canal Évasion requires flexibility to continue to adhere to
its commitments with respect to Canadian content to provide
enhanced and diverse programming to its subscribers.
|
|
Canal Évasion also points out that the proposed changes may
permit it to benefit from the synergies that may result from the
operation of Travel TV as well as enabling it to exchange programs
and collaborate with its french partner La Chaîne Voyage.
