[Submit an intervention/comment or view related documents]

The Commission will hold a hearing commencing 4 April 2011 at 9:00 a.m., at the Conference Centre, Portage IV, 140 Promenade du Portage, Gatineau, Quebec, to consider the applications described below:

Introduction

In A group-based approach to the licensing of private television services, Regulatory Policy CRTC 2010-167, 22 March 2010 (Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2010-167), the Commission announced a new group-based approach to the licensing of private television services affiliated with larger Canadian broadcasting groups (the group-based policy). The Commission indicated that the new group-based framework would apply, at the outset, to ownership groups that generate more than $100 million in annual revenues from private, English-language conventional television stations and own at least one English-language specialty and/or pay programming service. The groups meeting the criteria at this time are CTVglobemedia (CTVgm), Inc. (Shaw) and Rogers Broadcasting Ltd. (Rogers). Accordingly, the Commission has received applications from these large broadcasting ownership groups for the renewal of the television stations and specialty and pay services listed below. In addition, Inc. (Corus) has requested that its television services also be renewed under the new group-based licensing framework. The Commission has also received a separate renewal application from Shaw Cablesystems Ltd. (Shaw Cablesystems) for the CJBN-TV service located in Kenora, . Since this station shares common ownership with some of the larger ownership groups, the Commission will treat its renewal application as part of this proceeding. Some of the groups have also applied for revocation of licenses that will not expire until 2012 or later. The granting of new licences as of September 2011 will allow these services to immediately be part of the new group-based policy. Pursuant to Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2010-167, each of the large ownership groups have submitted group renewal applications for their various affiliated services on a group basis. All of the key proposed amendments submitted with respect to the conventional television stations operated by each of these groups can be found under the

application number assigned to the group as specified below. The key amendments proposed with respect to their pay and specialty services follow under individual application numbers. Item Applicant Application 1. CTVglobemedia Inc. 2010-1261-6

Preamble

In implementing this framework through the group-based policy, the Commission’s objective is to provide private broadcasting groups with greater flexibility in the allocation of resources amongst their various television platforms while permitting the Commission to consider factors such as the total audience reached by a broadcasting group, the totality of its revenues and of its programming commitments and obligations. While providing greater flexibility to television services, this new framework will also permit the Commission to ensure continued support for the creation of Canadian programming, particularly in categories that continue to be under-represented in the Canadian broadcasting system. In particular, the Commission has announced new group-based Canadian programming expenditure (CPE) requirements and additional requirements related to programs of national interest (PNI), which the Commission has defined as scripted drama, documentaries and Canadian awards shows. Key issues

In this proceeding, the Commission will implement the group-based policy, including the CPE and PNI requirements and the various other changes set out in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2010-167 and in Regulatory frameworks for broadcasting distribution undertakings and discretionary programming services – Regulatory Policy, Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2008-100, 30 October 2008 (Broadcasting Public Notice 2008-100), and other recent proceedings. In this regard, the key issues the Commission will consider include:

• Group-based Canadian programming expenditures; • Group-based programs of national interest expenditures; • Groups treated in this proceeding; • Terms of ; and • transition. 3

In addition, the Commission will examine a number of specific changes proposed by the applicants, as set out in items 1 to 5 below.

Canadian programming expenditures

During the current and previous licence terms, certain pay and specialty services operated by the large broadcast ownership groups have been required to spend a percentage of their individual revenues on the purchase and production of Canadian programming. Similarly, conventional television stations have generally been required to broadcast a minimum of 8 hours per week of “priority” programming (drama, documentaries, regional programs, etc.).

In Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2010-167, the Commission set out a new approach that recognizes the role played by large ownership groups in the production and broadcast of Canadian programming. Under this new approach, each of the following services will be required to spend a percentage of its revenues on the purchase and production of Canadian programming, and the total amount of expenditures across all applicable services in a group will equal a set percentage of the total group revenues:

• all conventional television stations; • all Category A pay and specialty services; and • all with more than one million subscribers that are part of each group. Competitive mainstream sports and specialty services are excluded from this regime. The Commission stated that it would set an appropriate group-level CPE requirement for each group that would maintain the historical level of spending by the group, in addition to the individual CPE requirements set for the services that are part of that group. In Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2010-167, the Commission took the preliminary view that an appropriate group CPE for each of the ownership groups would represent a minimum of 30% of aggregate revenues.

The Commission further indicated that specialty and pay services that are subject to the group-based CPE requirement will be given the flexibility to meet the requirement by spending up to 100% of their required CPE on Canadian productions broadcast, on other qualifying specialty or pay services or on television stations that are part of the same group. Conventional television stations will be permitted to spend up to 25% of their CPE requirements on productions broadcast by other qualifying specialty services that are part of the group.

Programs of national interest

In Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2010-167, the Commission indicated that it would replace the current requirements related to priority programming with requirements on the group to spend a set amount of annual revenues on PNI (programs from program categories 7 Drama and comedy and 2(b) Long-form documentary, as well as specific Canadian award shows that celebrate Canadian creative talent). The Commission’s 4

preliminary view was that a requirement that groups spend at least 5% of revenues on PNI would be appropriate. The Commission also indicated that the services that are part of these groups should be subject to a condition of licence requiring that at least 75% of PNI expenditures be allocated to independently-produced programs. Finally, the Commission stated that it expects that the groups will commission PNI production from all regions of commensurate with their presence in the respective markets in which they broadcast.

In order to assist the Commission in making its final determinations on the appropriate spending level for PNI, the Commission requested further information from the groups relating to current and historical expenditures on these types of programming.

Applicant’s proposals regarding CPE and PNI

As part of their applications in this proceeding, all four of the large broadcast ownership groups have proposed that group-based CPE and PNI requirements be set as follows:

• CPE and PNI expenditure requirements in year one of the new licence term would be calculated based on an average of the revenues in each of the three previous broadcasting years;

• CPE and PNI requirements in years two to five of the licence term would be calculated based on revenues earned in the previous broadcasting year;

• Each group has some flexibility to under spend or over spend a portion of their CPE and PNI requirements in any given broadcasting year, provided that the total minimum aggregate amounts are spent over the course of the licence term; and

• CPE requirements for conventional television stations would be based on a formula. This formula would take the total dollar amount of the CPE requirement for all of the applicable services in the group in a given year and subtract the dollar amounts of the CPE requirements of all of the pay and specialty services in that group. The remainder is the dollar amount of the CPE requirement for conventional stations in that group for that year.

Groups treated in this proceeding

In Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2010-167, the Commission determined that, in principle, a modified group-based approach with the associated flexibility could apply to ownership groups other than those specifically designated in the policy, i.e., CTVgm, and Rogers. The Commission further indicated that it would consider applications by other groups that wished to avail themselves of the additional flexibility provided by the group-based policy.

After this policy was issued, the Commission approved a change in effective control of the Canwest services to a wholly owned subsidiary of Inc. (Shaw Communications), in Change in the effective control of Canwest Global Communications Corp.’s licensed broadcasting subsidiaries, Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2010-782, 22 5

October 2010 (Broadcasting Decision 2010-782). The application for renewal of these services in this proceeding has been submitted by Shaw on behalf of the various licensees.

In addition, as noted above, the Commission has received an application by Corus in which it requests that the Commission renew the broadcasting licences for the various television stations and pay and specialty services it controls under the group-based policy.

The Commission will also consider the renewal application of Shaw Cablesystems for CJBN-TV Kenora, Ontario, as part of this proceeding.

In light of the above, the Commission will consider, as part of this proceeding, whether the various licences controlled by Corus should be eligible for renewal under the group-based policy. Further, given the common ownership between the various services controlled or affiliated with Shaw, Corus and Shaw Cablesystems, the Commission will consider the benefits and other implications of treating all of these services as a single group for the purpose of this policy.

Terms of trade

In Determinations regarding certain aspects of the regulatory framework for over-the-air television, Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2007-53, 17 May 2007, and in a number of policies and decisions published since May 2007, the Commission stated that the establishment of terms of trade agreements between independent Canadian television programming producers and broadcasters would provide stability and clarity for both producers and broadcasters and would be in the broadcasting industry’s interest as a whole.

In Broadcasting Decision 2010-782, which approved the acquisition of Canwest Global Communications Inc. (Global) by Shaw Communications, the Commission indicated that in the event that a terms of trade agreement is not reached prior to the licence renewal hearing for the former Global services, the Commission will require Shaw to file its substantive proposals to the Commission prior to the renewal hearing as part of the record of that hearing and will then establish appropriate provisions for terms of trade as part of its determinations set out in Shaw’s renewal decisions.

Therefore, in accordance with the approach set out in Broadcasting Decision 2010-782, in the event that any of the broadcasting groups identified in this notice have not reached terms of trade agreements with independent producers before the licence renewal hearings, the Commission will require these groups to file substantive proposals as part of the record of this hearing and will then establish appropriate provisions for terms of trade as part of its determinations in the licence renewal decisions for the services operated by these groups.

Digital television transition

No later than 31 August 2011, many of the conventional television stations that are part of the groups in question in this proceeding will cease broadcasting in an analog format and begin broadcasting in a digital format. The Commission will continue to process applications for amendments to the current licences of these stations that will permit them to commence broadcasting in a digital format on or before that date. Licences renewed as part of this proceeding will come into effect on 1 September 2011 and will incorporate any other amendments made to these licences prior to that date.

Other matters

Licence classes for specialty and pay services

Specialty and pay services are currently licensed as either “analog” or Category 1 or 2 digital services. As set out in Broadcasting Public Notice 2008-100, the Commission has determined that beginning 1 September 2011, certain specialty and pay services will be classified as either Category A, B or as part of a distinct third class of services from genres that have been opened-up to competition, henceforth known as .

Category A services will include most of the pay and specialty services that are currently referred to as “analog” services as well as those currently licensed as Category 1 digital services. Category B services will include those services currently licensed as Category 2 digital services. Finally, Category C services will include various specialty services in the news and sports genres that are currently licensed as another class of service but will, during the next licence term, be licensed as Category C services.

To limit any potential confusion that could result from this change in terminology, throughout this notice and the proceeding described herein, the Commission will use, to the greatest extent possible, the terms Category A, B and C to describe these services.

Cultural diversity plans

The Commission notes that the implementation of licensees’ cultural diversity corporate plans and annual reports filed over the licence term with the Commission will not be examined as part of this proceeding. Instead, the Commission’s overall policy on cultural diversity will be evaluated at a later date to be determined by the Commission in order to ensure adequate evaluation of this policy by all interested parties. Licensees’ performance in this regard will be considered at that time. In the meantime, all licensees currently subject to the Commission’s cultural diversity policy are expected to continue filing annual reports no later than 31 January of each year until further notice.

The specific CPE levels proposed for each applicable service are set out in the table below. CTVgm also indicated that it is willing to accept PNI expenditure requirements equivalent to 5% of its gross revenues for each applicable service, again, on the condition that the same requirement be applied to the other groups.

The Commission notes that CTVgm requested an authorization to operate the former television station CKNX-TV Wingham, Ontario, as a transmitter of CFPL-TV , Ontario.

The Commission also notes that CTVgm indicated in its application that the transmitter CIWH-TV-1 Humboldt, , associated with the station CICC-TV , Saskatchewan and the transmitter CJCB-TV-4 New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, associated with the station CJCB-TV Sydney, Nova Scotia, are no longer in operation.

3. Corus Entertainment Inc. Application 2010-1350-8

Applications by Corus, on behalf of the licensees (listed below), for the renewal, or the revocation or the issuance of broadcasting licences for the stations and services listed below.

Given the common ownership between the various services controlled or affiliated with Shaw, Corus and Shaw Cablesystems, the Commission will consider the benefits and other implications of treating all of these services as a single group for the purpose of the group-based policy, as part of its renewal of the Corus licences.

Corus has proposed CPE requirements for its various applicable services that would, in aggregate, equal 29% of the gross revenues of the group, which it regards as more in line with its historical spending than the minimum 30% level identified by the Commission in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2010-167 and takes into account other assumptions made in its proposal. The specific CPE levels proposed for each applicable service are set out in the table below. Corus also indicated that it is willing to accept PNI expenditure requirements equivalent to 5% of its gross revenues for each applicable service.

Key proposed amendments to conventional television stations and pay and specialty services are summarized in the tables below.
