REVISED LISTS OF ELIGIBLE SATELLITE SERVICES
Attached to this Public Notice are revised lists of "Part II Eligible Satellite Services" (Part II list), "Part III Eligible Canadian Satellite Services" (Part III Canadian list), and "Part III Eligible non-Canadian Satellite Services" (Part III non-Canadian list). These lists supersede the lists appended to Public Notice CRTC 1996-111 dated 9 August 1996.
The Part II list (Appendix A) contains satellite services authorized for distribution by licensees holding a Class 1 licence, or a Class 2 licence for an undertaking that has between 2,000 and 6,000 subscribers.
The Part III Canadian and non-Canadian lists (Appendix B) contain satellite services authorized for distribution by licensees holding a Part III licence or licensees holding a Class 2 licence for an undertaking that has fewer than 2,000 subscribers.
Addition of KCPQ (FOX)
In Decision CRTC 96-678 of today's date, the Commission has approved an application by Canadian Satellite Communications Inc. (Cancom) to add the signal of KCPQ (FOX) Seattle, Washington to the list of signals that it is authorized to distribute.
In order to authorize the distribution of KCPQ by Class 1 licensees and Class 2 licensees that have between 2,000 and 6,000 subscribers, on a discretionary tier, and by Part III licensees and Class 2 licensees with fewer than 2,000 subscribers, either as part of the basic service or on a discretionary tier, this signal has been added to both the Part II list and the Part III Canadian list.
The attached lists have been amended to reflect the change announced herein.
