Decision

Ottawa, 21 November 1994
Decision CRTC 94-881
La Coopérative de Câblodistribution de Saint-Fidèle
Saint-Fidèle, Quebec - 940471600

Licence amendment

Pursuant to Public Notice CRTC 1994-102 dated 18 August 1994, the Commission approves the application by La Coopérative de Câblodistribution de Saint-Fidèle to be relieved from the requirement to delete the duplicate programming from CFTM-TV (TVA) Montréal, received via satellite from the CANCOM network, or to substitute therefor the local service of CIMT-TV (TVA) Rivière-du-Loup, when the programming is
identical.
Public Notice CRTC 1994-108 provides, with respect to the distribution of Part III eligible satellite services, that "in the case of CFTM-TV and CHAN-TV, a licensee also distributing the signal of a local TVA/CTV affiliate shall delete the duplicate programming from the CANCOM services or substitute the local service(s) when the programming is identical."
In assessing this application, the Commission took into account the licensee's argument that the poor signal quality of CIMT-TV adversely affects the signal quality of CFTM-TV when substitution occurs, as a recent technical assessment by the Department of Industry, Science and Technology has confirmed.
The Commission acknowledges the opposing interventions submitted by Télé Inter-Rives Ltée, licensee of CIMT-TV, and by Télé-Métropole Inc., licensee of CFTM-TV. The Commission is satisfied with the licensee's reply to these interventions.
