Public Notice CRTC 1999-91
|
|
The Commission has received the following applications:
|
|
1. ACROSS CANADA
|
|
Application (199906377) by PULSE 24 INC. to amend the licence for its national English-language specialty television service. Pulse 24 has requested the addition of a condition of licence that will permit it, during Canadian election periods, to exclude partisan political advertising from the calculations of the amount of advertising that it broadcasts.
|
|
The Specialty Services Regulations, 1990 do not specify a maximum hourly amount of advertising material that licensees of specialty services may broadcast. Instead, advertising limits for such licensees are regulated by condition of licence, on an individual basis. The licensee has applied for the flexibility granted conventional television broadcasters through the amendment to the Television Broadcasting Regulations, 1987 (Public Notice CRTC 1995-159).

Pulse 24 Inc.
299 Queen Street West Toronto, Ontario M5V 2Z5 |
|
2. LONDON, WINGHAM AND WHEATLEY, Ontario
|
|
Applications (199901450, 199901476, 199901468) by CHUM LIMITED, 299 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 2Z5.
|
|
These applications propose amendments to condition of licence 1(i) which specifies the amounts the licensee must expend on Canadian programming, on a combined basis, for CFPL-TV London, CKNX-TV Wingham and CHWI-TV Wheatley. The proposed condition would result in the expenditure of approximately $2.8 million less for the year ending 31 August 1998 and $2 million less for the year ending 31 August 1999, than that required under the existing condition.
|
|
The amended condition of licence would read as follows:
|
|
1. The licensee shall, for CFPL-TV, CKNX-TV and CHWI-TV combined, expend on Canadian programming, at a minimum;
|
|
(i) in the period 1 November 1997 to 31 August 1998, the minimum required level of expenditure shall be $5,092,000.00;
|
|
(i.i) the year ending 31 August 1999, the minimum required level of expenditures shall be $6,112,000.00.
