Decision

Ottawa, 19 September 1990
Decision CRTC 90-917
Riverport Satellite T.V. Limited
LaHave, Riverport and surrounding areas, Nova Scotia- 894207000
Following a Public Hearing in St. John's, Newfoundland beginning on 3 April 1990, the Commission renews the licence for the broadcasting receiving undertaking (subscription television) serving LaHave, Riverport and surrounding areas from 1 October 1990 to 31 August 1995, subject to the conditions specified in this decision and in the licence to be issued.
The licensee is authorized to continue to distribute, in scrambled form, the signals of CHAN-TV Vancouver, CITV-TV Edmonton, CHCH-TV Hamilton, WDIV (NBC), WJBK-TV (CBS), WXYZ-TV (ABC) and WTVS (PBS) Detroit, Michigan, received via satellite from the CANCOM network, as well as the Atlantic Satellite Network, received via satellite.
As stated in Public Notice CRTC 1987-254 dated 26 November 1987, the Commission's policy is that subscription television undertakings should not be permitted to jeopardize the financial viability of neighbouring subscription-based systems. Accordingly, it is a condition of licence that the licensee shall not solicit or accept a subscription from, or make available equipment to decode its signals for use by, any person resident inside or outside of the area encompassed by the contours approved for the licensee by the Commission, when that person is resident
a) within the authorized service area of any broadcasting receiving undertaking licensed now or in the future, or
b) within the area encompassed by the contours approved by the Commission for any other subscription-based broadcasting undertaking licensed now or in the future,
unless the prior written consent of the applicant or licensee of the other undertaking or the prior approval of the Commission has been obtained or, in the case of a person residing inside the approved contours, that person had subscribed to the licensee's subscription television service prior to the licensing of the other undertaking.
Alain-F. Desfossés
