Decision

Ottawa, 10 August 1995
Decision CRTC 95-528
Regional Cable TV (Atlantic) Inc.
Fermeuse, Newfoundland - 942069600
Licence renewal
Following Public Notice CRTC 1995-10 dated 20 January 1995, the Commission renews the licence held by Regional Cable TV (Atlantic) Inc., for the cable distribution undertaking serving Fermeuse, 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.
The operation of this undertaking is regulated pursuant to Parts I and III of the Cable Television Regulations, 1986 (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 this decision and in the licence to be issued.
The licensee is authorized, by condition of licence, to distribute the programming service of the Atlantic Satellite Network (ASN), received via satellite, provided that it is distributed on an unrestricted channel of the basic service.
Consistent with Decision CRTC 95-502 dated 31 July 1995, the licensee is relieved, by condition of licence, from the requirement of subsection 22(1)(a) of the regulations to distribute the programming of all local television stations. The licensee will distribute instead the CTV Network signal, CJON-TV (CTV) St. John's, received via satellite.
Should any of the local stations for which an exemption is granted herein begin offering local programming, the licensee will be required to distribute the local station in question, on the basic service of its undertaking or apply to the Commission for a further exemption.
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.
