Decision

Ottawa, 14 July 1995
Decision CRTC 95-447
Regional Cable TV (Atlantic) Inc.
Holyrood and Port de Grave, Newfoundland - 942083700 - 942100900
Licence renewals
Following Public Notice CRTC 1995-10 dated 20 January 1995, the Commission renews the licences held by Regional Cable TV (Atlantic) Inc., for the cable distribution undertakings serving Holyrood and Port de Grave, 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 these undertakings 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.
The operation of these undertakings is regulated pursuant to Parts I and III of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986 (the regulations) and the licences will be subject to the conditions in effect under the current licences, as well as to those conditions specified in the licences to be issued.
In Decision CRTC 95-260 dated 29 May 1995, the Commission approved the applications to delete the condition of licence requiring the licensee to distribute the signal of the Atlantic Satellite Network (ASN) on an unrestricted channel. Should the quality of the ASN signal deteriorate significantly, the Commission expects the licensee to undertake immediate corrective action including, if necessary, the distribution of the service on another channel.
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.
