Appendix to Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2006-433

Conditions of licence
|
|
1. The licensee is relieved of the requirement of section 32 of the
Broadcasting Distribution Regulations to distribute CJMT-TV-2
(OMNI.2) Ottawa as part of the basic service beginning with the basic
band (channels 2 to 13). The licensee will distribute this service on
channel 41 as part of the high-penetration tier in analog mode and on
channel 15 as part of the digital basic service.
|
|
2. The licensee is authorized to distribute, at its option, CFCF-TV
(CTV) Montréal, CHRO-TV (CTV) Pembroke and CFMT-TV-2 (IND) Ottawa, and
WNPE-TV (PBS) Watertown, WOKR-TV (ABC), WHEC-TV (NBC) and WROC-TV
(CBS) Rochester, New York, as part of the basic service.
|
|
3. The licensee is authorized to distribute, at its option, WFFF-TV
(FOX) Burlington, Vermont, on a discretionary tier.
|
|
4. The licensee is authorized to distribute the signals of the
transitional digital television undertakings CFTO-DT Toronto and
CIII-DT-41 Toronto, as part of its HD digital service, until Montréal
digital television undertakings that provide CTV and Global
programming in HD begin broadcasting. Specifically, the authorization
to distribute CFTO-DT Toronto will lapse once a Montréal digital
television undertaking that provides CTV programming in HD begins
broadcasting, and the authorization to distribute CIII-DT-41 Toronto
will lapse once a Montréal digital television undertaking that
provides Global programming in HD begins broadcasting.
|
|
5. The licensee is authorized to distribute the following signals
on a digital discretionary basis
|
|
a second set of signals that provides the programming
of the four U.S. commercial networks (CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX) and the
non-commercial PBS network (hereafter referred to as the U.S. 4+1
signals).
|
|
The distribution on a discretionary basis on the licensee’s digital
service of a second set of U.S. 4+1 signals is subject to the
provision that, with respect to such signals, the licensee adhere to
the requirements regarding non-simultaneous program deletion set out
in section 43 of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations. The
Commission may suspend the application of this provision, with respect
to the signals to be distributed, upon its approval of an executed
agreement between the licensee and broadcasters. Such an agreement
must deal with issues related to the protection of program rights
arising in connection with the discretionary carriage of a second set
of U.S. 4+1 signals solely on the licensee’s digital service.
|
|
6. The licensee may, at its option, insert certain promotional
material as a substitute for the "local availabilities" (i.e.,
non-Canadian advertising material) of non-Canadian satellite services.
At least 75% of these local availabilities must be made available for
use by licensed Canadian programming services for the promotion of
their respective services, for the promotion of the community channel
and for unpaid Canadian public service announcements. A maximum of 25%
of the local availabilities may be used to provide subscribers with
information regarding customer service and channel realignments, and
for the promotion of discretionary programming services and packages,
cable FM service, additional cable outlets and non-programming
services, including Internet and telephone services.
