REVISED LIST OF PART II ELIGIBLE SATELLITE SERVICES AND LIST OF PART III NON-CANADIAN ELIGIBLE SATELLITE SERVICES
|
In Public Notice CRTC 1987-261 dated 30 November 1987, the Commission out lined requirements concerning the linkage of discretionary programming services and indicated which non-Canadian satellite services would be authorized for cable distribution. The Commission reiterated that it is not prepared to allow the carriage of U.S. specialty or pay television programming services which would be either totally or partially competitive with Canadian specialty or pay services. Further, the Commission noted that these lists would be reviewed periodically and could be subject to change at any time should competitive situation arise.
|
The Commission has received requests from the Canadian Cable Television Association and Rogers Cablesystems Inc. that the U.S. programming service Tempo Television be included on the List of Part II Eligible Satellite Services. This service, which formerly operated under the name of Satellite Program Network (SPN), has been available for distribution by Part III licensees. Tempo Television is targeted to a mature audience and attracts primarily middle-aged and older viewers. Its schedule consists of outdoors, travel, general information and entertainment programming and classic feature films that are in the public domain. As of today's date, the Tempo Television service is included in the revised List of Part II Eligible Satellite Services, attached as Appendix 1 to this notice and subject to the general link age requirements set out in Public Notice CRTC 1987-261.
|
|
Attached as Appendix 2 is a revised List of Part III Eligible Non-Canadian Satellite Services. It corrects the name of the Tempo Television service and deletes the listing of Modern Satellite Network (MSN) which has ceased operation.
