It seems to us necessary at the very least for the government to ensure that: the members of the Fund’s board will be genuinely independent of the BDUs; the contribution agreement that Canadian Heritage negotiates with the new Fund will contain long-term conditions guaranteeing the maintenance of envelopes for each category of programming currently supported; the method of calculating audience numbers will ensure all categories of broadcaster equitable access to funding; CBC/Radio-Canada’s terms and conditions of access to support from the Fund will not result in its becoming too exclusively concerned with ratings to the detriment of its mandate as the ...[+++] national public broadcaster; the access of production companies tied to a broadcaster will continue to be subject to a ceiling, and a still lower ceiling if they have, through their parent company, decision-making clout in the membership of the Fund’s Board of Directors; the funding dedicated to new media production will be determined without affecting the historical level of investment in television.

(22) Whereas, for the purposes of this Directive, 'free television` means broadcasting on a channel, either public or commercial, of programmes which are accessible to the public without payment in addition to the modes of funding of broadcasting that are widely prevailing in each Member State (such as licence fee and/or the basic tier subscription fee to a cable network);
