(the general partner) and Canwest Media Inc. (the limited partner), carrying on business as Canwest Television Limited Partnership Calgary, Alberta Application 2009-1556-4, received 13 November 2009 CICT-DT Calgary – Technical change 1. The Commission approves the application by Canwest Television GP Inc. (the general partner) and Canwest Media Inc. (the limited partner), carrying on business as Canwest Television Limited Partnership, to replace the current transitional digital transmitter for CICT-TV Calgary with the post-transition transmitter CICT-DT. The authorized contours of the transmitter will be changed by increasing the average effective radiated power (ERP) from 3,200 to 50,000 watts, by modifying the antenna radiation pattern from directional to non-directional, by increasing the effective height of the antenna above average terrain from 51 to 378 meters and by relocating the antenna. The Commission did not receive any interventions with respect to this application. The implementation is subject to the notification by the Department of Industry (the Department) discussed in paragraph 3. 2. The licensee indicated that because tower space is limited in the Calgary area, moving its antenna and increasing the ERP will enable it to provide four times the coverage of its current transitional antenna located at the CICT-TV station. Condition prior to the implementation of the new technical parameters 3. The Commission reminds the licensee that pursuant to section 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act, this authority will only be effective when the Department notifies the Commission that its technical requirements have been met and that a broadcasting certificate will be issued. Therefore, in the absence of the notification by the Department, the applicant will not be able to implement the new technical parameters approved in this decision. Secretary General This decision is to be appended to the licence.

  • Of Logos, Owners, and Cultural Intermediaries: Defining an Elit
    Of Logos, Owners, and Cultural Intermediaries: Defining an Elite Discourse in Re-branding Practices at Three Private Canadian Television Stations Christopher Ali University of Pennsylvania ABSTRACT This article explores the relationship between local television stations and na - tional networks through a careful study of station re-branding. The relationship is explored through case studies of the three privately owned English-speaking television stations in Win - nipeg, Canada. Through in-depth interviews with station and network executives, the author investigates the critical factors that facilitated the re-branding of Canada’s private television networks between 1997 and 2005. This period saw many English-speaking television networks unite their respective affiliate stations under a single logo and brand. Influenced by branding theory and scholarship on Canadian broadcasting, this article examines the shift away from local identification in Canadian broadcasting and the benefits, challenges, and resistances therein. KEYWORDS Canadian broadcasting; Local television; History of broadcasting; Branding RÉSUMÉ Cet article explore le rapport entre les stations de télévision locales et les réseaux nationaux au moyen d’un examen méticuleux des changements de marque des stations. Pour ce faire, l’auteur a mené des études de cas sur les trois stations de télévision privées de langue anglaise à Winnipeg, Manitoba. En se fondant sur des entretiens en profondeur avec des cadres de stations et de réseaux, l’auteur explore les facteurs critiques qui ont permis les changements de marque des réseaux de télévision privés au Canada entre 1997 et 2005. C’est durant cette période que plusieurs réseaux de télévision anglophones ont uni leurs stations affiliées respectives sous la bannière d’un seul sigle et d’une seule marque.
