Future of American channels remains in doubt Lakeshore Commun- ity Television, the cable TV operator in Terrace Bay, appeared before the Canadian Radio- Television and Tele- communications Com- mission in Hull, Quebec on March 2. Lakeshore's license expires on September 30, 1983 and the com- pany is applying for a renewal of its license. In addition to the channels authorized in its present Terra Sschre Vol. 28, No. 11 license, Lakeshore has been providing Ameri- can satellite channels for several years. The com- pany came under se- vere criticism from the CRTC for providing these channels at the Hull hearings. Dale Evoy said that Lakeshore was told in the strongest language to remove the channels or face the non-renewal of its license. The same day that the ce Bay Public Library Terrace Bay POT 2WO Terrace Bay cable oper- ator appeared before the Commission, the CRTC announced that Can Com, the Canadian satellite, could begin carrying American channels. It will be some time, however, before Can Com can begin offering ABC, CBS, NBC and the Public Broadcasting System. If the channels now seen in Terrace Bay are taken off the air it Ontario C.C.T.F.N. ew, will be many months before similar Can Com offerings are available. Local MP Keith Pen- ner has objected strong- ly to the CRTC's action and has taken the matter up with the Minister of Communications. "We are urging Dale not to interrupt his service." "| have counselled Dale not to make any changes until the CRTC approves additions to the Can Com package.
