so yes , all three star wars specials are just a complication of quick sketches . the first robot chicken star wars was really a mix of all star wars movies . it included a few sketches they had already done , as well as a lot of new material . the second and third ones focused almost solely on empire and jedi , respectively .
infowars host and alex jones sells a lot more than just conspiracy theories . as revealed on last week tonight with john oliver , jones has an extensive online store that sells products ranging from the odd to the downright bizarre . as host john oliver pointed out , jones spends a lot of infowars ‘ running time directing viewers to his online store . there , they can buy survival gear , organic body wash , coffee , chocolate bone broth , and aggressively and masculinely branded moist wipes for “the perineal area . ” there’s even a “bill clinton rape whistle , ” because of course there is .
md : he has to deal with the knowledge that his father owns him . this episode also did a nice job of portraying a dynamic where lea only owns a handful of slaves . when he talks to chicken george about the possibility of george getting married , he is very clear that he expects him to keep his wife’s “belly full” in order to “increase my stock . ”
md : this duel scene was not in the book or the original series . i agree that it fits in the narrative . i could also see a more subtle commentary on what “civilized” white culture looks like—that you go out in a field and shoot at each other . i couldn’t help laughing when chicken george has to encourage lea by saying , “you the gamecock now ! ”
md : it also showed how many of these enslaved characters have specialized knowledge that is really valuable . we didn’t talk about that in the last episode , but kunta had skill with the horses , and mingo and chicken george have these valuable skills training the birds . what did you make of all the cockfighting ? this has to be the most cockfighting on television this decade , right ?
md : yes , this was a very violent episode , wasn’t it ? and in very different ways : the duel is bloody , lea rapes kizzy repeatedly , and then the gamecocks are fighting to the death every other scene . each one has an impact on the lives and futures of the enslaved characters . one thing i liked about the cockfighting theme was the absurdity of chicken george’s freedom turning on whether that bird won or lost .
md : chicken george and mingo become immediately suspect . it’s like it suddenly dawns on lea and other slaveholders that enslaved people do not want to be held in bondage and might actively resist . the reference to nat turner also made me think of how much historical ground the series is trying to cover—how we move from the war of independence to nat turner to [ in the finale ] the civil war . chunks of time keep passing by .
prune face ! also i wish we could get a consensus on the movie reference because i am also sure the freeze frame , narration , song ( that specific song ) was from a movie . i saw a bit of this at nyc comic con so i knew going in it was an attempt at a long form story with skits orbiting around , i suppose if you didn ' t , it could be disconcerting since that is not robot chicken ' s style .
yesterday , matt and i talked about the roots remake as an action flick , and the re - envisioning of kizzy , kunta kinte’s daughter , as a warrior . ( you can stream past episodes here . ) today we dig into episode 3—and , yes , there will be spoilers . this penultimate episode revolves around the upbringing of kizzy’s son “chicken george” ( regé - jean page ) and george’s tricky relationship with tom lea ( jonathan rhys meyers ) , his ne’er - do - well master and unacknowledged father .
mm : it’s hard not to love chicken george . he’s this cocky , vibrant young guy who is allowed to train and fight his master’s gamecocks rather than working the fields . he’s optimistic and trusting , whereas everyone around him , from his mom to old mingo—who teaches him everything he knows about the birds—has learned by experience that white people are not to be trusted . we also get to know tom lea , kizzy’s serial rapist . he’s a small - time slave owner , an irishman who pulled himself up by his bootstraps and aspires to be accepted by the southern gentry . i thought the acting was superb .
matthew delmont : yes , like # fergusonsyllabus , # charlestonsyllabus , # lemonadesyllabus , people are using this hashtag to share books , articles , films , and other resources related to slavery and african - american history and culture . five million viewers doesn’t seem like a lot compared to the massive audience that watched roots in 1977 , but there’s a whole different level of viewer engagement with this new roots . seeing people express their thoughts in real time on kizzy , chicken george , and tom lea is amazing , and then having some of the leading historians on slavery tweet to help contextualize this historical fiction is pretty cool .

foodie culture is everywhere . instead they did a bashing of retro pop culture !
so the client brief is to talk to two completely different target audiences with different awareness and affinity levels for the brand and and try to convince both of them in one 30 sec .
agency has done an admirable job with the brief but for me the takeout is about re - engaging with older lapsed consumers .
our roots go all the way back to 1952 illinois , when entrepreneur and fast food franchising pioneer al tunick purchased some deep fryers from a restaurant that was going out of business .
i also know that we are likely to make our way more successfully in the world if we are secure in our british identity , and confident about its future . that security and confidence is important for the inner strength it gives us in our conduct of business with others . i want to argue the case why we can be confident about the strength and the future of british identity .
sadly , it has become fashionable for some to argue that british identity is under siege , perhaps even in a state of terminal decline . the threat is said to come in three forms .
first , the arrival of immigrants who , allegedly , do not share our cultural values and who fail to support the england cricket team . few dare to state this case explicitly , but it is the unmistakable subliminal message .
second , our continued membership of the european union , which is said to be absorbing member states into a country called europe .
third , the devolution of power to scotland , wales and northern ireland , which is seen as a step to the break - up of the uk .
this evening , i want to set out the reasons for being optimistic about the future of britain and britishness . indeed , i want to go further and argue that in each of the areas where the pessimists identify a threat , we should instead see developments that will strengthen and renew british identity .
the first element in the debate about the future of britishness is the changing ethnic composition of the british people themselves . the british are not a race , but a gathering of countless different races and communities , the vast majority of which were not indigenous to these islands .
in the pre - industrial era , when transport and communications were often easier by sea than by land , britain was unusually open to external influence ; first through foreign invasion , then , after britain achieved naval supremacy , through commerce and imperial expansion . it is not their purity that makes the british unique , but the sheer pluralism of their ancestry .
london was first established as the capital of a celtic britain by romans from italy . they were in turn driven out by saxons and angles from germany . the great cathedrals of this land were built mostly by norman bishops , but the religion practised in them was secured by the succession of a dutch prince . outside our parliament , richard the lionheart proudly sits astride his steed . a symbol of british courage and defiance . yet he spoke french much of his life and depended on the jewish community of england to put up the ransom that freed him from prison .
the idea that britain was a pure anglo - saxon society before the arrival of communities from the caribbean , asia and africa is fantasy . but if this view of british identity is false to our past , it is false to our future too . the global era has produced population movements of a breadth and richness without parallel in history .
this pluralism is not a burden we must reluctantly accept . it is an immense asset that contributes to the cultural and economic vitality of our nation .
our cultural diversity is one of the reasons why britain continues to be the preferred location for multinational companies setting up in europe . the national airline of a major european country has recently relocated its booking operation to london precisely because of the linguistic variety of the staff whom it can recruit here .
and it isn ' t just our economy that has been enriched by the arrival of new communities . our lifestyles and cultural horizons have also been broadened in the process . this point is perhaps more readily understood by young britons , who are more open to new influences and more likely to have been educated in a multi - ethnic environment . but it reaches into every aspect of our national life .
coming to terms with multiculturalism as a positive force for our economy and society will have significant implications for our understanding of britishness .
the modern notion of national identity cannot be based on race and ethnicity , but must be based on shared ideals and aspirations . some of the most successful countries in the modern world , such as the united states and canada , are immigrant societies . their experience shows how cultural diversity , allied to a shared concept of equal citizenship , can be a source of enormous strength . we should draw inspiration from their experience .
to deny that britain is european is to deny both our geography and our history . our culture , our security , and our prosperity , are inseparable from the continent of europe .
underlying the anti - european case is the belief that there is an alternative future available to britain . it used to be argued that the european union is not europe and that britain could exist perfectly comfortably as one of a number of european countries maintaining a loose association with brussels . but with the majority of non - eu states now clamouring for full membership , the changing geopolitics of europe have consigned that argument to the past .
some anti - europeans now argue that britain ' s destiny lies outside europe , as part of the english - speaking world and a member of nafta .
yet britain trades three times more with the rest of the eu than we do with nafta . the reason why over four thousand us companies have located here is because they want to export to europe . if they only wanted to sell to nafta , they would have stayed at home .
europe is where our domestic quality of life is most directly at stake , whether the issue is environmental standards , the fight against organised crime , policy on asylum or stability on the continent .
but it is not simply a question of economic and political realism that ties britain to europe , compelling as those arguments are . britain is also a european country in the more profound sense of sharing european assumptions about how society should be organised . the last international survey of social attitudes put britain squarely within the european mainstream on our approach to social justice and public services , such as health .
there are strong ties of kinship between britain and north america . these are an immense asset to us in the modern world . the us and the uk are each others closest allies . but our value as an ally to our friends in washington is in direct proportion to our influence with our partners in europe .
i do not accept that to acknowledge our european identity diminishes our britishness . nor do i accept that membership of the european union is a threat to our national identity .
none of our european partners , with their own proud national traditions , seem afflicted by this self - doubt and insecurity . the idea that the french , the germans or the spanish are attempting to erase their national identities by constructing a country called europe is the mother of all euromyths . on the contrary , our partners see their membership of a successful european union as underwriting , not undermining , their assertion of national identity .
for france , germany and italy , the european community was central to the renewal of their nations and the regeneration of their economies in the post - war period . to spain , portugal and greece , joining the european community was an affirmation of their freedom from fascism and a guarantee of a democratic future . to austria and finland , joining the european community was a celebration of the end of the cold war , which enabled them to make a free choice in their national orientation .
the same is true of the dozen new candidates for membership from the former communist bloc . all of them aspire to membership of the european union because it will be an affirmation of their regained independence . none of them see it as a threat to their national identity .
ireland joined at the same time as britain . its period of membership has transformed ireland into a country with a dynamic economy and a cosmopolitan society . the result has been a new assertiveness of national identity , and confidence in their culture . we can see that for ourselves in britain through the new affection for irish music and dance , and the attachment to irish pubs .


bravofact ( foundation to assist canadian talent ) is a canadian fund established in 1995 to fund the creation of canadian arts-based short films and videos .

bravo!fact funds shorts from various subject matters , genres and styles including animation , drama , comedy , dance , and more .

bravo!fact was established in 1995 by bravo , a canadian specialty television channel devoted to the arts , as a condition of licence .

the fund was supported entirely by bravo , and the shorts air on bravo !

weekly , on in short and previously on bravofact presents .

in may 2017 , at the request of bell media , the crtc deleted the condition of licence requiring bravo !

to financially contribute to bravofact , effectively putting the future of the foundation in jeopardy .

according to the bravofact page , since 1995 the foundation has “distributed millions of dollars in awards to canadians for the production of short form scripted projects . ” ( that includes music videos , although not to the same degree as muchfact ) . “today , bravofact continues to provide awards to canadian producers and directors who seek to create entertaining and engaging short - form content , both scripted and documentary , for bell media . ” this past october , at the canadian independent music association’s ( cima ) annual general meeting in toronto , bell media ' s lennox was the guest speaker , there to discuss the company’s commitment to music — most notably through their launch of iheartradio in canada —and hold a q & a . ; that’s when artist manager jake gold ( who has managed the tragically hip , the watchmen , the cliks and sass jordan ) asked him about the future of muchfact .

the commission renews the broadcasting licences for the various english - language television stations and services that will form the bell media group in the next licence term , from 1 september 2017 to 31 august 2022 .
in addition , the commission renews the broadcasting licences for various television services that are not included in the bell media group in the next licence term , from 1 september 2017 to 31 august 2022 .
for bell tv on demand ( terrestrial pay - per - view service ) and bell tv on demand ( direct - to - home pay - per - view service ) , the commission revokes the current broadcasting licences , effective 31 august 2017 . new broadcasting licences will be issued for the services , which will take effect 1 september 2017 and expire 31 august 2022 .
bell media inc . ( bell media ) , on behalf of itself and the licensees listed in appendices 1 and 2 to this decision , filed an application to renew the broadcasting licences for the english - language television stations , discretionary services and other services set out in the appendices .
specifically , bell media is seeking the renewal of the broadcasting licences for the ctv and ctv two television stations across the country , the satellite - to - cable services ctv two alberta and ctv two atlantic , several discretionary services and the on - demand services . this list includes cjdc - tv dawson creek , cftk - tv terrace , tmn and tmn encore , which bell media acquired from astral media .
the commission received various interventions and comments in regard to this proceeding . the public record for this proceeding can be found on the commission’s website at urltoken or by using the application number provided above .
the commission’s determinations relating to issues common to all of the english - language ownership groups are set out in broadcasting decision 2017 - 148 ( the introductory decision ) , also issued today , which should be read in conjunction with this decision .
in the introductory decision , the commission set out its determinations on various issues , including setting a standard minimum requirement for canadian programming expenditures ( cpe ) and expenditures on programs of national interest ( pni ) , as well as setting standard requirements for local programming and local reflection . these determinations are reflected below and in the conditions of licence for the services .
in its application , bell media requested the removal of the conditions of licence relating to ctv two alberta’s status as the provincial educational station of alberta .
as the provincial educational station , the service has neither a cpe nor a pni obligation . bell media stated that , should its request be approved , it would accept cpe and pni requirements for the service .
bell media stated that it understands that should the commission approve the proposed licence amendments , the service would no longer be automatically entitled to mandatory carriage under the broadcasting distribution regulations . in this respect , bell media requested that ctv two alberta be treated in the same manner as ctv two atlantic , including treating the service like a local television station for the purposes of simultaneous substitution and allowing it to continue to form part of the basic service for the province of alberta .
bell media stated that viewers in alberta and throughout the canadian broadcasting system would be better served by two separate services ( i . e . , a private service and a dedicated educational service ) , each focusing on their own specific mandate .
knowledge network , british columbia’s educational broadcaster , was in support of bell media’s request . it stated that it has been involved in ongoing discussions with the government of alberta regarding relaunching a publicly owned and operated educational broadcast service in the province .
the canadian ethnocultural council , the consumers’ association of canada , the council of senior citizens’ organizations of b . c . , the national pensioners federation and the public interest advocacy centre ( collectively , piac et al . ) argued that the commission should reject bell media’s proposal stating that bell media provided no evidence to support its claims .
piac et al . also argued that there is value in the educational service and that bell media should not be allowed to abandon its commitment to the province to simply align the alberta service with ctv two atlantic . it further stated that if the commission were to approve this request , ctv two alberta should be treated as a discretionary service and not be afforded the privilege of being on the basic service .
the ontario educational communications authority ( tvo ) intervened in the proceeding to state that it does not agree with bell media’s assertion that viewers no longer look to television for educational programming in the same way . according to tvo , 10 . 7 million ontarians watch tvo on linear television each year , including 82 % of children aged 2 to 10 years . it submitted that the fact that bell media is seeking to withdraw from ctv two’s role as the designated educational broadcaster demonstrated that the “hybrid privatization” route of designating educational broadcasters without the benefit of public funding , is not sustainable .
designation of an educational service is the purview of the provinces and territories . in this regard , the government of alberta did not intervene in the proceeding but did send a letter to bell media in which it did not object to the changes proposed for ctv two alberta . further , knowledge network stated that it is in talks with the government of alberta regarding relaunching a publicly owned and operated educational broadcast service in the province . in light of the above , the commission removes the conditions of licence relating to the educational aspects of the ctv two service .
with respect to bell media’s request for the service to be treated in the same fashion as ctv two atlantic—both ctv two alberta and atlantic are licensed as satellite - to - cable services .
ctv two atlantic has been offered on the basic service in a similar manner as an over - the - air station since its original licensing in the 1980s and ctv two alberta has always been the educational station in alberta . while ctv two atlantic has never been designated as a provincial educational broadcaster , distribution of the services has been similar , in that both have been available to their respective viewers on the basic service and can avail themselves of simultaneous substitution .
the commission considers that it would be appropriate to continue to authorize the inclusion of ctv two alberta on the basic service . this would allow albertans to continue to receive the service and its regionally relevant programming and thus would fulfill part of the objective set out in section 3 ( 1 ) ( i ) ( ii ) of the act , which states that the programming provided by the canadian broadcasting system should be drawn from local , regional , national and international sources .
however , the commission considers that ctv two alberta should have exhibition and expenditure requirements for regional programming ( i . e . programming for albertans ) similar to the local programming requirements for other bell media stations , including ctv two atlantic . conditions of licence to this effect are set out in appendix 3 to this decision .
further , the commission considers that the six hours of regionally reflective programming on ctv two alberta should be unique to the service . since bell media operates two other alberta - based ctv stations that could share programming with ctv two alberta , the commission imposes a condition of licence requiring that those six hours be unique to ctv two alberta . ctv two alberta should be able to meet this requirement through the original regional programming that it currently broadcasts .
accordingly , the commission approves bell media’s request to continue to allow ctv two alberta to be offered on the basic service in alberta . the commission will issue notices of consultation calling for comments on amendments to the general authorizations applicable to terrestrial and direct - to - home broadcasting distribution undertakings ( bdus ) and to the simultaneous programming service deletion and substitution regulations to permit bdus to include ctv two alberta as part of the basic service and to allow ctv two alberta to request simultaneous substitution .
bell media owns some originating television stations that operate as regional stations . these stations’ local programming requirements have historically been calculated on a regional basis rather than station by station . the two groupings of regional stations are :
chbx - tv sault ste . marie , cici - tv sudbury , cito - tv timmins and ckny - tv north bay ; and
cjcb - tv sydney , cjch - dt halifax , ckcw - dt moncton and cklt - dt saint john .
collectively , the total amount of programming offered by each of these groups of associated stations generally averages out to the standard local programming requirement of seven hours or more of local programming per week .
bell media proposed to maintain the current levels of local programming for these regional stations instead of requiring each station to broadcast seven hours per week of local programming .
bell media also requested that the exhibition requirement for locally reflective news and information programming take into account the regional mandate and structure of the stations and be calculated based on grouping of stations rather than station by station .
bell media proposed to maintain the lower local programming requirements for some smaller market stations ( cicc - tv yorkton , cipa - tv prince albert , cfcn - dt - 5 lethbridge and cfrn - tv - 6 red deer ) , which are currently set at 2 . 5 hours per week . bell media argued that it would not be financially feasible to increase the number of hours of local programming for these stations .
in addition , bell media requested an exception to the locally reflective news and information exhibition requirement of at least three hours per week for non - metropolitan markets . instead , it proposed that the above stations be required to broadcast a minimum of one hour per week of locally reflective news and information programming .
in broadcasting regulatory policy 2016 - 224 ( the local tv policy ) , the commission adopted measures to ensure continued local reflection , including requiring that local television stations maintain historical exhibition levels for locally reflective news and information as well as maintaining the current overall exhibition levels for local programming .
maintaining existing local programming exhibition requirements for the regional and small market stations , albeit lower than the standard seven hours of local programming required for non - metropolitan markets , would maintain the level of local programming received by these communities and would be consistent with the local tv policy . the commission therefore approves bell media’s request for an exception to the standard exhibition requirements for local programming for the stations listed above . conditions of licence to this effect are set out in appendix 3 to this decision .
in addition , the commission considers it appropriate to allow for a similarly reduced requirement with respect to the amount of locally reflective news and information programming that bell media’s regional and small market stations are required to offer . the commission approves bell media’s request for an exception to the standard exhibition requirement for locally reflective news and information programming for some stations . conditions of licence to this effect are set out in appendix 3 to this decision .
the commission is imposing these requirements by condition of licence to reinforce the importance of local programming and locally reflective news and information programming and to better ensure that viewers receive this programming .
currently , tmn must abide by a condition of licence requiring that the service devote no less than 30 % of the period from 6 p . m . to 11 p . m . and 25 % of the remainder of the broadcast day to the broadcast of canadian programming . for its part , tmn encore must devote 20 % from 6 p . m . to 11 p . m . and 20 % for the remainder of the broadcast day to the broadcast of canadian programming .
in broadcasting regulatory policy 2015 - 86 , the commission stated that it would apply at licence renewal a standardized canadian programming exhibition requirement of 35 % for discretionary services .
bell media requested an exception to the standardized requirement . it argued that , unlike the majority of the former category a services , the new standard exhibition requirement of 35 % canadian content would be an increase for tmn and tmn encore . bell media stated that requiring both services to abide by that requirement would result in more repetition , which is of little value to the services and goes against what the commission was trying to accomplish in broadcasting regulatory policy 2015 - 86 .
to compensate for the proposed reduced canadian programming exhibition requirement , bell media proposed to abide by a nature of service condition of licence restricting the services to the broadcast of drama and comedy series , documentaries , films , sports and events .
one of the objectives of broadcasting regulatory policy 2015 - 86 was to standardize the requirements for discretionary services . in the commission’s view , bell media did not provide sufficient justification to warrant an exception to the standardized canadian programming exhibition requirements for discretionary services . accordingly , the commission denies the request .
as part of the above condition of licence , tmn was also eligible to claim a 150 % time credit for broadcasting a new canadian production at certain peak viewing times . this credit would also be inconsistent with the commission’s determinations in broadcasting regulatory policy 2015 - 86 in regard to both the standardization of the requirements for discretionary services and the elimination of genre protection . accordingly , the commission removes this credit from tmn’s conditions of licence .
bell media requested that the licences for tmn and tmn encore be merged into a single licence , which would allow it to offer the tmn encore multiplexes under tmn’s licence .
bell media argued that the services were licensed separately only because of genre protection—one for new productions , the other for older productions . it stated that tmn and tmn encore are often packaged together .
bell media further stated that , at present , bdus sell tmn’s six feeds together and tmn encore’s two feeds together . a subscriber can choose to take the six tmn feeds , the two tmn encore feeds or all eight feeds together . bell media stated that , should the licences be merged , nothing would change in this regard . specifically , eight feeds would be available , and could be purchased as six , two or all eight . bell further stated that it would not permit consumers to buy each multiplexed feed individually on a pick - and - pay basis .
in broadcasting regulatory policy 2015 - 96 , the commission stated that it was concerned that further multiplexing of services may place limits on the ability of canadians to pick and pay for individual services . in that policy , the commission stated that it will require services that wish to offer multiplex channels to apply for explicit authorization to add new multiplexes and to demonstrate why it would not be more appropriate to licence a new service ( or register an exempt service ) rather than authorize a multiplex .
the commission considers that merging the two licences would be inconsistent with the determinations set out in broadcasting regulatory policy 2015 - 96 regarding multiplexing as it would combine the two set of multiplexes into one service , thereby creating incentives to package the multiplexes . this could potentially further inhibit consumer choice by reducing consumers’ ability to purchase the feeds on a pick - and - pay basis .
bell media requested an amendment to standard condition of licence 2 for mainstream sports services set out in broadcasting regulatory policy 2009 - 562 - 2 . currently , licensees must devote not less than 60 % of the broadcast day and not less than 50 % of the evening broadcast period to the broadcast of canadian programming . bell media requested that the broadcast day requirements be reduced to 50 % and that the evening period requirement be eliminated .
bell media submitted that , as with other discretionary services , category c services should have reduced requirements for canadian content . bell media argued that easing the requirements would not affect the nature and purpose of sports services like tsn , but would increase the variety and diversity of sports programming broadcast .
the commission examined exhibition requirements in the let’s talk tv proceeding and chose to maintain the exhibition requirements for mainstream sports services . bell media has not adequately justified an exception to standard condition of licence 2 . accordingly , commission denies bell media’s request . tsn will therefore be required to continue to abide by standard condition of licence 2 for mainstream sports services set out in broadcasting regulatory policy 2009 - 562 - 2 .
bell media requested an exception to standard condition of licence 4 for mainstream sports services set out in broadcasting regulatory policy 2009 - 562 - 2 . it requested that tsn be allowed to average advertising time over the entire broadcast day , rather than over the course of each clock hour . this exception would mirror the flexibility granted to national news services in broadcasting regulatory policy 2015 - 436 .
bell media argued that this additional flexibility would improve the viewing experience of canadian consumers . it stated that , with the ability to include advertising spots at other parts of the same day , sports services would not feel the pressure to shoehorn advertising inside of a live event program , especially one whose running time or advertising availabilities are affected by the game itself .
the commission is mindful of the nature of live sports and the unpredictability of its scheduling . advertising flexibility may make for a better viewing experience for the consumer and would be of benefit to tsn . accordingly , the commission approves the request for an exception to standard condition of licence 4 set out in broadcasting regulatory policy 2009 - 562 - 2 to allow tsn to average advertising time over the entire broadcast day . a condition of licence to this effect is set out in appendix 5 to this decision .
bell media argued that it is too costly to maintain these transmitters and that they generate no incremental revenue and attract little to no viewership given the growth of bdu subscriptions . none of the 40 transmitters offer any local or other original programming that differs from its other stations . bell media also stated that it is aware of the loss of certain regulatory privileges ( distribution on the basic service , the ability to request simultaneous substitution ) that would result from the shutdown of these transmitters .
according to bell media’s figures , a total of 726 , 000 canadians live within the contours of the transmitters to be shut down . bell media stated at the hearing that 38 of the affected 40 communities are served by terrestrial bdus and the other two communities are served by satellite . customers of these terrestrial and satellite bdus would not be affected by the removal of these transmitters . in addition , in 12 of the 40 affected communities , there are other over - the - air transmitters that serve the same areas .
in broadcasting regulatory policy 2015 - 24 , the commission stated that it will continue to require licensees of television stations to maintain an over - the - air presence to retain certain regulatory privileges . broadcasters electing to shut down their over - the - air transmitters will not be permitted to retain the privilege to be distributed on the basic service , nor will they be able to make requests for simultaneous substitution in the manner described in the simultaneous programming service deletion and substitution regulations .
in the introductory decision , the commission determined that a public process would be required in the event of the closure of the local television station . in this instance , since no originating stations are being shut down , there would be no loss of local or other original programming in the broadcasting system . as set out in appendix 1 to this decision , the transmitters listed above have been deleted from the licences .
bell media requested the deletion of various conditions of licence and expectations for certain services . given that the proposed changes are consistent with commission policies , the commission
for mtv , to delete the expectation that the licensee acquire programming from independent production companies and that it allocate $ 50 , 000 , in each broadcast year , to independent production companies for concept and script development .
in addition to the 12 minutes of advertising material during any clock hour in a broadcast day permitted by condition of licence , the licensee may broadcast such additional minutes of advertising material calculated in accordance with incentives for english - language canadian television drama , broadcasting public notice crtc 2004 - 93 , 29 november 2004 , as may be amended from time to time .
video - on - demand ( vod ) services are required to contribute 5 % of gross annual revenues to canadian programming in each broadcast year . if the vod service is “related” to a bdu , gross revenues are deemed to be 50 % of total revenues received from customers . for the northwestel inc . ( northwestel ) vod service , this requirement is found in condition of licence 5 as set out in the appendix to broadcasting decision 2008 - 362 .
the commission reviewed northwestel’s annual returns and found that the licensee did not make any of the required contributions to canadian programming during the current licence term . the total shortfall for the period reviewed , the 2008 - 2009 to 2015 - 2016 broadcast years , is $ 93 , 777 .
northwestel stated that it had wrongly understood that investing a percentage of total vod revenues in community television operations would satisfy the requirements of that condition of licence . it agreed to make a payment for the shortfall amount for the 2015 - 2016 broadcast year but stated that assessing contributions back to the 2008 - 2009 broadcast year would not be appropriate .
in light of the above , the commission finds northwestel in non - compliance with the condition of licence relating to contributions to canadian programming . the commission considers that any shortfall incurred over the licence term must be paid . the commission therefore directs northwestel to make a payment of $ 80 , 523 to the canada media fund for the shortfall covering the 2008 - 2009 to 2014 - 2015 broadcast years by 14 august 2017 . the commission directs northwestel to make a payment of $ 13 , 254 to the bell fund for the 2015 - 2016 shortfall by 14 august 2017 . lastly , the commission directs northwestel to provide proof of payment for both payments by 12 september 2017 . a condition of licence to this effect is set out in appendix 7 to this decision .
the annual return for the 2016 - 2017 broadcast year is not due until 30 november 2017 . the commission expects the licensee to file proof of payment demonstrating that the required payments for the 2016 - 2017 broadcast year have been made with the 2016 - 2017 annual return .
