  Application 2006-0633-7
Public Hearing at Regina, Saskatchewan
30 October 2006
 

Acquisition of assets - Corporate reorganization

1.

The Commission approves the application by TELUS Communications Inc. (TCI), and 1219823 Alberta ULC in partnership with TCI in TELE-MOBILE Company (TELE-MOBILE), partners in a general partnership carrying on business as TELUS Communications Company (TCC GP) (collectively, "the applicant"),1 to acquire from TCI, as part of a corporate reorganization, the assets of the cable broadcasting distribution undertakings (BDUs) located in Alberta, British-Columbia and Quebec, as listed in Appendix 1 to this decision, and of the national English-language video-on-demand (VOD) service.

2.

The Commission also approves the applicant's request for broadcasting licences to continue the operation of these cable BDUs in accordance with the Broadcasting Distributions Regulations and under the same terms and conditions approved in previous decisions, as set out in Appendices 2, 3 and 4 to this decision. In addition, the Commission approves the applicant's request for a broadcasting licence to continue the operation of the national English-language VOD service in accordance with the Commission's regulatory framework for VOD undertakings2 and under the same terms and conditions approved in previous decisions, as set out in Appendix 5 to this decision.

3.

The Commission notes that the transaction approved in the current decision will be subsequent to a corporate restructuring that will result in TCI becoming a partner with TELE-MOBILE in TCC GP, and in the transfer of TCI's assets to TCC GP.

4.

The Commission also notes that TCI will hold directly and indirectly more than 99% of TCC GP's partnership interest and that the said transaction will not affect the control of the above-mentioned undertakings, which will continue to be exercised by TCI, a wholly owned subsidiary of TELUS Corporation, a widely held public corporation controlled by its Board of Directors.

5.

The Commission did not receive any interventions in connection with this application.

6.

The Class 1 regional licences for the cable BDUs serving the locations in Alberta and British Columbia, as listed in Appendix 1 to this decision, will expire on 31 August 2009. The Class 1 regional licences for the cable BDUs serving the locations in Quebec, as listed in Appendix 1 to this decision, will expire on 31 August 2011. These licences will be subject to the conditions set out in Appendices 2, 3 and 4 to this decision. The licence for the national English-language VOD service will expire on 31 August 2010 and will be subject to the conditions set out in Appendix 5 to this decision.

7.

The Commission will issue the licences to TELUS Communications Inc., and 1219823 Alberta ULC in partnership with TELUS Communications Inc. in TELE-MOBILE Company, partners in a general partnership carrying on business as TELUS Communications Company, upon surrender of the current licences.

8.

5. The licensee is authorized to distribute the following signals on a digital discretionary basis:

 
  • any of the distant Canadian television signals set out in the List of Part 3 eligible satellite services; and
 
  • 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 and distant Canadian 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 and distant Canadian signals solely on the licensee's digital service.

 

The Commission reminds the licensee that the requirements set out in section 30 of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations regarding simultaneous substitution apply also in the case of U.S. 4+1 and distant Canadian signals.

 

6. The licensee is authorized to receive, directly through its own facilities, at its option, any of the distant Canadian signals that are otherwise required to be received from a licensed SRDU.

7. The licensee is relieved of the requirement under section 25(a) of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations regarding the distribution of certain services on restricted channels. It may distribute a programming service referred to in section 18(5) or section 19(f) of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations on a restricted channel only where the licensee has the prior written agreement of the programming service.

 

8. In order to ensure that neither TELUS Corporation, nor its Board of Directors can exercise control or influence over programming decisions, an independent programming committee must be established in accordance with the following:

 

a) There shall be a committee of three persons to be known as the Programming Committee which shall be responsible for making all programming decisions of the licensed undertaking.

b) "Programming decisions" means all decisions of any kind relating to or affecting television programming broadcast by the licensed undertaking and includes all decisions relating to the content and presentation of the licensed undertaking's programming.

c) The directors of the licensee, by enactment of the appropriate by-law, will delegate to the Programming Committee the sole and exclusive responsibility and authority to make all programming decisions on behalf of the licensed undertaking, and to supervise the implementation thereof.

f) At least one member of the Programming Committee shall be an independent member having no links to the licensed undertaking, its affiliates or its shareholders.

g) A quorum of the Programming Committee shall be made by a majority of members present at a meeting of the Programming Committee, either in person or by telephone.

h) Any decisions respecting removal of members of the Programming Committee shall be made by majority vote of the Programming Committee.

i) The Programming Committee shall ensure that the programming will be in conformity with any applicable conditions, regulations and policies of the Commission, as well as with the Broadcasting Act.

j) No change may be made to these criteria unless prior Commission approval is obtained.

 

9. 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.
