Licence amendments
|
| 1. |
The Commission approves the applications to amend the
broadcasting licences for the Category 2 specialty television
services known as CTV NewsVu, CTV Newsnet Alberta, CTV Newsnet BC
and CTV News Centre Nouvelles, by:
|
|
· changing their nature of service by adding program category
2b (long-form documentary), 5b (informal education/recreation and
leisure), 6a (professional sports) and 6b (amateur sports); and
|
|
· adding the following article c):
|
|
The licensee shall not broadcast live coverage of sporting
events.
|
|
CTV's nature of service provisions for all four services
presently reads as follows:
|
|
The programming must be drawn exclusively from the following
categories, as set out in Schedule I to the Specialty Services
Regulations, 1990: 1, 2a, 3, 11, 12, 13 and 14.
|
| 2. |
The changes approved today bring the nature of service conditions
of licence for CTV's Category 2 news services into agreement
with those of similar services licensed to CHUM Limited and Craig
Broadcast Systems Inc. The Commission notes that competition between
Category 2 specialty services is consistent with its policy
concerning such services. |
| 3. |
The Commission has taken into account the intervention filed in
opposition to these applications by the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation as well as the licensee's reply.
