Co-operative programming More and more, CBC French television is broadcasting programs produced by the private film industry or is joining forces with the industry to produce both short and feature films, as well as film series that are subsequently shown in its schedule. In 1982-83the private film industry made a significant contribution to CBC French television programming, including such series as Ie Temps des choix, Legendes indiennes du Canada, les A ventures de Virulysse, Connaissance du milieu, les Transistors, Salut sante and Daniel Bertolino, "exploration et vous; such films as les Cloches, les Traces d'un homme, Bleue Brume, and the documentary Jean-du-Sud autour du monde.

It was a milestone year marking five decades of public radio in Canada, during which the CBC has become internationally recognized for its innova. tive information programming and for the excellence of its arts broadcasts. In 1982 more international listeners became aware of CBC radio's high standards, through increased exposure of Canadian drama, variety, musical and current affairs programs on radio networks in the United States and Europe.

News and Current Affairs It was a challenging time for this area of programming because budget cuts at home coincided with the responsibility of covering wars in the Falklands and Lebanon. Radio news sent reporters to Buenos Aires and the Mid.East to work under extremely difficult conditions. As It Happens provided views from experts and ordinary people on both sides of the conflicts, and Sunday Morning and Cross Country Check.up explored many aspects of these and other controversies.

CBC radio provided coverage, and facili. ties for foreign broadcasters, at meet. ings in Canada of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Information programs carried compre. hensive reports from the World Assembly of First Nations in Regina, the signing of the new Canadian Consti. tution in Ottawa, and the Constitutional Conference on native rights.

Information Programming Sunday morning programming on the full AM network was replaced by a major three-hour magazine on national and international events. In the first part of the program, Present-dimanche ana- lyzes ten or so topics, and provides a review of books and newspapers. Half- way through the program, host Michel Pelland hands the microphone over to Marie-Helene Poirier, who with her guests spends the next hour on in- depth coverage of Canadian events of the week. The program ends with a 30-minute phone-in session.

This Sunday magazine is only one aspect of the radio information programming provided by Present, which is aired four times daily, at 7:10 a.m., 8:10 a.m., 12:10 p.m. and 5:40 p.m., with the help of some 40 people in Montreal and a network of outside contributors.

The fall of 1982 saw the arrival on the air of a different type of program appro- priately named D'un autre oeil, giving listeners an opportunity to hear young people's views on current events, and providing journalism and communication students with access to air time on CSC. The experiment is being conducted in co-operation with five universities and two colleges.

17 Northern Broadcasting

In the north, two special regional services broadcast CSC programming. The Northern Service provides radio and television in the Yukon and Northwest Territories; the Northern Quebec Service plays the same role in Northern Quebec and the Upper St. Maurice Valley.

Northern Service Providing national and regional CSC services to the people of the Northwest Territories and the Yukon is a demanding task.

The sheer expanse of the Arctic pre- sents, in itself, a formidable challenge. Fully one-third of Canada's land mass lies north of the 60th parallel, spread across four time zones, and largely inaccessible by road.

The dynamics of life in the Arctic today offer an equally compelling challenge. Large scale industrial development, the growth of regional self-government, and the pending settlement of major land claims are all contributing to a profound transformation in the lives of Canadians throughout the north. Residents of the north share a vital need for the daily communication of news and events, and for balanced public debate of all major issues.

Radio Highlights 1982-83 Increasing emphasis was placed on pan-northern programs, which link all regions of the north in a common presentation of major events and issues.

20 Radio Canada International

The year 1982-83marked a period of restructuring and reorganization for Radio Canada International.

Shortwave A new service to the Caribbean began to take shape, using existing funds and personnel. As a result, there were several changes in managerial responsibility. The new Caribbean service, broadcasting in English and French, will be included in the Africa target area. Topical Disc personnel, formerly with Recorded Programs, were reassigned to staff the new service. In future, production of RCI's topical discs will be handled by the corresponding target areas.

Several major engineering projects were also approved in 1983. Three 50-kW transmitters, in use since the earliest days of the International Service, will be replaced. To accommodate the new transmitters, the plant's antenna switch- ing matrix will be expanded. As well, Radio Canada International will, in con- junction with the British Broadcasting Corporation, replace the transmitters at Daventry, England which relay RCI's signals to Eastern Europe and Africa. Both of these projects will be completed within the next three years.

cac Parliamentary Network Since 1979 the CSC has distributed the televised proceedings of the House of Commons to Canadian cable companies by means of satellite transmission. Live daily coverage is offered in English and French, with CSC hosts providing explanatory material about the day's business and the procedures of the House. Signing for the deaf accom- panies an early evening repeat of the daily Question Period.

In late 1982 the Parliamentary Network was being distributed by 166 cable companies whose subscribers represented 47 per cent of Canadian households. In most cases the cable companies carry the service on a channel requiring a converter; currently, one Canadian household in four has such a converter. It is estimated that about 56,000 viewers watch the Parliamentary Network at least once a week. ~-- Excerpts from Parliamentary proceed- . ings are also carried on the CSC's regular programs This Week in Parliament and la Semaine parlementaire, which together have an average weekly audience of more than 500,000 viewers. Similar Parliamentary review programs on the CSC radio networks have a com- bined average weekly audience of more than 250,000.

In 1983 the sitting hours of the House were changed, and Standing Order 21 permitted Members to make brief statements in the first 15 minutes of the afternoon session. This 15-minute period is now included in the Parliamentary network's live coverage, and a repeat of the segment has been added to the Question Period repeat at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Industrial and Talent Relations All collective agreements were extended for two years under the provisions of the Public Sector Compensation Restraint Act. The Corporation is establishing its priorities for the next round of collective bargaining which will occur in 1985.

Equal Opportunity Special efforts were continued to improve the status of women in the Corporation. Special career development seminars were offered to women and the overall program to encourage man- agers' implementation of the Affirmative Action Policy was carefully re-evaluated with a view to recommending new and more stringent approaches for 1983-84. Research was undertaken on the issue of sexual harassment and a draft policy was developed for presentation to the Board of Directors early in 1983-84.

Training Increased productivity was a key con. cern of all training departments. In the English Services Division, new courses on journalism, radio production skills and producer leadership were mounted and to facilitate delivery of future training programs an extensive survey was conducted of skills required by mainte- nance technicians.

Portrayal of Women The year 1982-83will undoubtedly be recalled as a turning point in the representation of women in programming.

In July, CSC President AW. Johnson made public two content analyses: one dealing with the French television network and the other with the English network. Although the studies clearly show that women are still under-represented in all the types of program analyzed (drama, variety, news and current affairs), they demonstrate just as clearly that CSC's own productions reveal much more sensitivity to this issue than do acquired programs. According to the authors of the report, the content analysis reveals few demeaning sexual stereotypes, although there is still a great deal to be done to ensure that men and women receive equitable representation.

Seven information meetings provided management staff with an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the research. Meetings with production staff are now planned. And, in accordance with CSC commitments, content analyses designed to measure the Corporation's progress have been commissioned.

In September 1982, the CSC signed with the other members of the CRTC Task Force the Report on Sex-Role Stereotyping in the Broadcast Media. The Report gives broadcasters two years to improve the general portrayal of men and women in programming. In 1984, a public forum will be held to evaluate the results.

Finally, throughout the summer of 1982 and the winter of 1983, the office of the Co-ordinator, Portrayal of Women, was busy preparing a practical guide on the situation of women and a directory of women qualified to comment on all topics of public interest. As the fiscal year closed, distribution of these work tools was about to begin.
