| CRTC to examine a negotiated compensation regime for conventional broadcasters |
| Posted
on Tuesday, August 11, 2009 - 03:39 PM |
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission today announced that in the context of the policy hearing on the structure for the group-based licensing of television stations, it will examine de novo the establishment of a framework for the negotiation of a fair market value of the conventional and distant television signals carried by cable and satellite providers.
As a consequence, the policy hearing on the structure for the group-based licensing of television stations planned for September 29, 2009, is rescheduled to November 16, 2009.
On August 4, Bell Canada filed an application in the Federal Court of Appeal alleging that the Commission has denied interested parties the opportunity to comment on the issue of a negotiated, fair market value for local conventional signals.
By proceeding this way, the Commission will ensure a fair, open and transparent hearing and remove any uncertainty on its outcome.
