Vidéo Québec Inc.
Saints-Anges, Quebec - 940945900
Licence renewal
Following Public Notice CRTC 1994-146 dated 2 December 1994, the Commission renews the Class 2 (fewer than 2,000 subscribers) licence held by Vidéo Québec Inc., for the cable distribution undertaking serving Saints-Anges, from 1 September 1995 to 31 August 2000.
The licence term granted herein, while less than the maximum of seven years permitted by the Broadcasting Act, will enable the Commission to consider the next licence renewal of this undertaking in accordance with the Commission's regional plan and to better distribute the workload within the Commission. This term is not reflective of any Commission concern regarding the licensee's performance.
With the exception of the requirements stipulated in section 23 of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986 (the regulations), the operation of this undertaking is regulated pursuant to Parts I and III of the regulations and the licence will be subject to the conditions in effect under the current licence as well as to those conditions specified in the licence to be issued.
In addition to the services required or authorized to be distributed pursuant to the applicable sections of the regulations, the licensee is authorized to continue to distribute, at its option, CFCF-TV (CTV) Montréal, WVNY (ABC) and WCAX-TV (CBS) Burlington, Vermont and WCFE-TV (PBS) Plattsburgh, New York, received via microwave, as part of the basic service.
The licensee is also authorized to continue to distribute, at its option, the Vidéotron special programming services "Arts et Spectacles" and "Le Canal Événement".
The Commission approves the application for authority to distribute, at the licensee's option, CFTU-TV (IND) Montréal, received via microwave, as part of the basic service. The Commission is satisfied that the distribution of CFTU-TV is consistent with the guidelines on the cable distribution of distant Canadian television signals first set out in Public Notice CRTC 1985-61 and reiterated in Public Notice CRTC 1993-74.
In Public Notice CRTC 1992-59 dated 1 September 1992 and entitled "Implementation of an Employment Equity Policy", the Commission announced that the employment equity practices of broadcasters would be subject to examination by the Commission. In this regard, the Commission encourages the licensee to consider employment equity issues in its hiring practices and in all other aspects of its management of human resources.
