Applications by Halifax Cablevision Ltd., Access Communications Inc., Bragg Communications Inc., Bay Communications Inc., K-Right Communications Ltd. (collectively known as EastLink), to amend the licences of its cable distribution undertakings serving the above-mentioned locations.
The licensee proposes to add a condition of licence for the systems noted above concerning their community channels to include the following provision:
1. For the purpose of section 27.1(1) of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations, "local community television programming" means, in relation to a licensed area, programming that is reflective of the community served in the licensed area and that is produced:
a) by the licensee in the licensed area, by the members of the community served in the licensed area or by a community television corporation residing in the licensed area;
b) by the licensee in another licensed area or by the members of the community served in that other licensed area and that is relevant to the community referred to in paragraph a);
c) by another licensee in a licensed area or by the members of the community served in that licensed area and that is relevant to the community referred to in paragraph a); or
d) by an exempt cable broadcasting distribution undertaking or by members of the community served by that undertaking and that is relevant to the community referred to in paragraph a).
EastLink states this amendment would allow one EastLink system to count the programming of any other EastLink system as local community television programming for the purposes of section 27.1(1). This proposal would permit the 60% local programming requirement to be expanded to include additional relevant programming that is reflective of the community, to be distributed to community members. EastLink submits that this approach will permit it to better fulfill the objectives of both the Broadcasting Act and the community channel policy.

At least 75% of these local availabilities must be made available for use by licensed Canadian programming services for the promotion of their respective services, for the promotion of the community channel and for unpaid Canadian public service announcements. A maximum of 25% of the local availabilities may be made available for the promotion of discretionary programming services and packages, customer service information, channel realignments, cable FM service and additional cable outlets.

6. Invermere, British Columbia
Application No. 2006-0881-2
Application by CTV Television Inc. to amend the licences of television programming undertakings CFCN-TV-5 Lethbridge and CFCN-TV Calgary, Alberta.
The licensee wishes to change the program feed of the transmitters CFCN-TV-15 and CFWL-TV-1 Invermere, British Columbia from CFCN-TV-5 Lethbridge to CFCN-TV Calgary, Alberta.
Consequently, the licensee proposes the following:
a) amend the licence of CFCN-TV-5 Lethbridge, Alberta, by deleting the transmitters CFCN-TV-15 and CFWL-TV-1 Invermere, British Columbia, and;
b) amend the licence of CFCN-TV Calgary, Alberta by adding the transmitters CFCN-TV-15 and CFWL-TV-1 Invermere, British Columbia.
The licensee advised that it is seeking the Commission's authority to deliver a satellite feed of CFCN-TV Calgary to the Invermere transmitters instead of the existing combination off-air/microwave feed of CFCN-TV-5 Lethbridge.
The licensee advised that programming would be for the most part unaffected, as the programming of CFCN-TV Calgary and CFCN-TV-5 Lethbridge is virtually identical with the exception of 2.5 hours per week of separate local Lethbridge news programming delivered on the CFCN-TV-5 Lethbridge signal. It further stated that Invermere is a recreational area, largely populated by Calgary residents and this change will be a positive development for viewers in the Invermere community, as the local programming provided on CFCN-TV Calgary will be of greater relevance to this community.
