Via G Janu Mr. J Secre Cana Tele Ottaw K1A Dear Re: 1. 2. 3. 4 Via GCKey January 22nd, 2014 Mr. John Traversy Secretary General Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2 Dear Mr. Traversy: Re: Part 1 Application to amend the broadccasting licences of TELETOON/TÉLÉTOON, TELETOON Retro and Historia and Séries+ specialty programming undertakings 1. This is an application by Corus Entertainment Inc. (Corus), filed on behalf of the licensees of the specialty television programming undertakings listed in the Attachment to this letter. All licensees are wholly owned subsidiaries of Corus. 2. The purpose of this application is to seek an amendment, pursuant to Part 1 of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure, to the broadcasting licences for each of the television services listed in the Attachment. 3. The proposed amendment would replacee the existiing condition of licence (COL) relating to the level of over-expenditures that may be deducted from the required expenditures on Canadian programming (CPE) or programs of national interest (PNI) in the next broadcast year, as set out in Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2013-737, Appendices 3 and 4 and Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2013-738, Apppendices 2 and 3. The affected COL for each service is listed in the Attachment. 4. Specifically, Corus requests that the affected COL for each service be replaced with the following COL: (b) In each broadcast year of the licence term, excluding the final year, where the licensee expends an amount for that year on Canadian programming or programs of national interest that is greater than the minimum required expenditure, the licensee may deduct that amount from the minimum required expenditure in one or more of the remaining years of the licence term. 5. Approval of the proposed amendment is consistent with the revised over- expenditure policy set out in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy CRTC 2012-596, Revised policy for large broadcast groups regarding Canadian programming expenditure over-expenditures for conventional television and specialty services (BRP 2012-596). 6. In BRP 2012-596, the Commission determined that it was appropriate to modify the over-expenditure policy that it had imposed following the group licence renewal proceeding in 2011 by removing the 5% limit on the carry- over of CPE/PNI over-expenditures. On the same day, the Commission approved applications by Bell Media Inc. and Rogers Media Inc. to amend the over-expenditure COLs of their respective television services to this effect. 7. Furthermore, in BRP 2012-596, the Commission stated that other licensees currently subject to this COL could apply to have it removed. 8. Corus has already availed itself of the flexibility afforded by the revised over- expenditure policy for each of its television services that formed part of the Corus group in 2012. In a letter dated December 17th, 2012, the Commission approved the application relating to the licences of various digital television services and specialty Category A and B services owned and operated by Corus. 9. Following the approval of the acquisition of the specialty services TELETOON/TÉLÉTOON, TELETOON Retro and Historia and Séries+ (see Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2013-737 and 2013-738), Corus seeks the same flexibility in relation to CPE over-expenditures that is afforded to its other specialty services in accordance with Commission policy in this regard. 10. We are submitting Form 301, Amendment requests (excluding technical amendments) Part 1 Proceedings with this letter. As this is an application to amend a COL to implement a regulatory policy of the Commission, we request that it be dealt with using the administrative approach as described in Broadcasting Information Bulletin CRTC 2011-960 Broadcasting applications that do not require a public process. Sincerely, Sylvie Courtemanche Vice President and Associate General Counsel , Government Relations and Compliance Attachment ***End of document*** ATTACHMENT List of affected Corus specialty services and conditions of licence Corus Specialty Decision Condition of Licence to Service be amended TELETOON/ Broadcasting Decision CRTC 9b) TÉLÉTOON 2013-737, Appendix 3 TELETOON Retro Broadcasting Decision CRTC 8b) 2013-737, Appendix 4 Historia Broadcasting Decision CRTC 4b) 2013-738, Appendix 2 Séries+ Broadcasting Decision CRTC 4b) 2013-738, Appendix 3 .

    November 24, 2011 Mr. John Traversy Filed Electronically Secretary General Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2 Dear Mr. Traversy: Re: TELETOON Canada Inc.: Part 1 Application to amend a condition of licence Application No. 2011-1406-6 1. The Canadian Media Production Association (“the CMPA”)1 wishes to provide the following comments concerning the above-noted application by TELETOON Canada Inc. (“TELETOON”). 2. As the Commission is aware, in April of this year, the CMPA and the five major English- language broadcaster groups completed good faith negotiations on a binding Terms of Trade Agreement (“the Agreement”) which now governs the signatory broadcasters when dealing with independent producers in the development, production and exhibition of Canadian audiovisual works intended to be broadcast in Canada. 3. Indeed, the Commission has been a strong and long-time supporter of the CMPA’s efforts to conclude the Agreement with the broadcasters, repeatedly pointing out in its decisions and notices that such an Agreement would provide stability and clarity for both producers and broadcasters and would be in the broadcasting industry’s interests as a whole.2 It is for those reasons that the Commission imposed adherence to the Agreement as a condition of the licences it renewed following the Group Licensing Hearing held earlier this year. 3 1 The CMPA represents the interests of screen-based media companies engaged in the production and distribution of English-language television programs, feature films, and new media content in all regions of Canada. The CMPA’s 400 member companies are significant employers of Canadian creative talent and assume the financial and creative risk of developing original content for Canadian and international audiences.

    CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL NATIONAL SPECIALTY SERVICES PANEL Teletoon Retro re an advertisement for The Night Exchange during Batman: The Animated Series (CBSC Decision 10/11-1669) Decided December 15, 2011 R. Cohen (Chair), M. Bulgutch (ad hoc), S. Crawford (ad hoc), D. Dobbie (ad hoc), D.-Y. Leu, D. Ward THE FACTS Teletoon Retro is a specialty service that broadcasts classic animated programs from the 1960s, ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, targeted at a variety of different age groups, including adults who want to revisit favourite cartoons from their childhood. The service aired an episode of Batman: The Animated Series at 1:30 am Eastern Time on May 16, 2011 (11:30 pm on May 15 in the complainant’s Mountain time zone). The episode, which was originally produced in 1992, included some very mild comic-book-style action and violence. Teletoon Retro rated it C8. A 30-second commercial for an adult telephone service called The Night Exchange was aired twice during Batman, in the first and third commercial breaks. The name of the service appeared on the screen as well as the telephone number and the words “local fun”, “easy to use” and “free trial”. The commercial consisted of a series of scenes of various individual women speaking to the camera or using a telephone. In a somewhat seductive manner, they each made comments to entice viewers to call, including “Do you wanna have some fun?”, “Show off your fun side”, and “You can’t have fun if you don’t make the call”. One woman said, “Sometimes we just talk.

    Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2005-511 Ottawa, 21 October 2005 TELETOON Canada Inc. Across Canada Application 2005-0283-2 Public Hearing in the National Capital Region 15 August 2005 TELETOON Retro – Category 2 specialty service In this decision, the Commission approves an application for a broadcasting licence to operate a new Category 2 specialty programming undertaking. The application 1. The Commission received an application by TELETOON Canada Inc. for a broadcasting licence to operate a national, English-language Category 21 specialty programming undertaking to be known as TELETOON Retro. 2. The applicant proposed to offer a service that would consist of classic animation and classic animation-related programs from Canada and around the world, including animated movies, specials, series and shorts, all of which commenced production at least ten years prior to their exhibition. 3. The applicant proposed to offer programming from the following categories, as set out in Schedule 1 to the Specialty Services Regulations, 1990: 2(b) Long-form documentary; 5(b) Informal education/Recreation and leisure; 7(a) Ongoing drama series; 7(b) Ongoing comedy series (sitcoms); 7(c) Specials, mini-series or made-for-TV feature films; 7(d) Theatrical feature films aired on TV; 7(e) Animated television programs and films; 7(g) Other drama; 12 Interstitials; 13 Public service announcements; and 14 Infomercials, promotional and corporate videos. 4. In order to avoid an overlap with Family Channel, YTV, Treehouse and Teletoon/Télétoon whose schedules contain a component of animation programming, the applicant indicated that no more than 5% of the broadcast year would be devoted to programs from categories 12, 13 and 14 and, during the broadcast year, a minimum of 90% of all programs would be animated programming drawn from categories 7(d) and 7(e).
