OTTAWA – In what could be a first for a Canadian BDU, Rogers Cable has asked the CRTC if it may carry the digital multicast signals of a U.S. broadcaster.
In its application, Rogers requested that the Commission amend its Class 1 and 2 regional broadcasting licences in Ontario, and its Class 1, 2 and 3 regional broadcasting licences for its terrestrial BDUs in New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
Specifically, Rogers has asked for the addition of the following condition of licence:
The licensee is authorized to distribute, at its option and on a digital basis, the multicast service ThinkBright and Well Television that is transmitted as part of the digital signal of WNED-TV Buffalo.
The deadline for interventions or comments is January 12, 2010.
