Television Rules To Be Announced

By DON HANRIGHT Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP) — The first Ca- ;madian broadcasting rules specif- ically for television will be an-

ment-appointed Board of Broad- cast governors. i Underlying aim of the new TV regulations — to take effect next year — will be to ensure varied, high-standard and comprehensive television programming ‘“‘basic- ally Canadian in content and

Si character”—as demanded im the

1958 Broadcasting Act.

However, there has been spec- ulation that the governors, while still trying to satisfy that de- mand. have diluted some of their original TV proposals to which

Most § contentious of the pro- posed rules were the require- ments that the weekly program- ming of every TV station be 55- ;per - cent Canadian, that two peak-viewing hours be reserved | every night for BBG - prescribed programs meeting the conient rule, and that most types of mor- ning TV be banned.
