Section I presents statistical and financial data for basic and non basic services by type (cable, IPTV and Direct-to-Home (DTH)) and combined on a national level. Section II presents combined statistical and financial data for cable and IPTV service providers on a regional or provincial level. Section III provides financial data of the contributions made by BDUs for the creation and production of Canadian programming. "Set-top Box - Rental" and "Set-top Box - Net Sales" are reported separately starting with the 2013-2014 Broadcast Year. The CRTC no longer issues Multipoint Distribution Systems (MDS) broadcasting licences, as set out in Broadcasting Information Bulletin CRTC 2011-479 . MDS results are included with DTH for 2012 and 2013. Local Programming Improvement Fund BDUs were required to contribute a percentage of gross revenue from broadcasting activities to this fund. The fund has been discontinued as of 1 September 2014. Limitation on data collected Annual returns for the broadcast year ended 31 August 2016 were required to be filed with the Commission by 30 November 2016. Data received subsequent to the complilation date is not reflected in this publication. There are 2 entities (Novus Entertainment Inc. and Câble-Axion Digitel inc.) that failed to provide their annual return and are therefore not included in this publication. The data reported for previous years has been updated to reflect any additional or adjusted information received by the Commission subsequent to the date of prior years' publications. Definitions Basic services Basic service is the service distributed by a broadcasting distribution undertaking as a package consisting of programming services whose distribution is required by the Commission. Non basic services Non basic service is the service distributed by a broadcasting distribution undertaking consisting of programming services whose distribution is not required by the Commission. Exempt programming services Revenues derived from classified advertising, teleshopping/general services and infomercials.
