Rogers Media Inc. – Group-based licence renewals – Correction
1. In Broadcasting Decision 2011-441, the Commission confirmed the appropriateness of retaining the existing requirements relating to independent production for the various services for which the broadcasting licences were renewed in Broadcasting Decisions 2011-447, 2011-446, 2011-445 and 2011-444.
2. In paragraph 50 of Broadcasting Decision 2004-9, the Commission set out an expectation for the specialty Category A service Outdoor Life Network (OLN) relating to the acquisition of original, first-run Canadian programming from non-related (i.e., independent) producers. However, in Broadcasting Decision 2011-447, in which the Commission renewed the broadcasting licence for OLN, this expectation was inadvertently omitted for this service.
3. Accordingly, the Commission hereby corrects Appendix 5 to Broadcasting Decision 2011-447, by including the following expectation:
The Commission expects the licensee to ensure that a minimum of 75% of all original, first-run Canadian programming broadcast on Outdoor Life Network is acquired from independent production companies.[1]
Secretary General
