Application made by La Magnétothèque, which asks that the Commission

• issue a distribution order pursuant to section 9(1)(h) of the Broadcasting Act, requiring Class 1 and 2 cable distributors, Direct to Home (DTS) distributors and distributors using the Multipoint Distribution System (MDS) to distribute the programming of La Magnétothèque on basic in all French-language markets, as defined by the Commission;
• require that a Class 1 or 2 licensee which distributes services only in digital mode in French-language markets and which is granted an exemption in connection with Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2007-101, September 12, 2007, offer a digital decoder free of charge, so that blind or visually impaired subscribers may have access to the programming of La Magnétothèque;
