Section "3" Television Station Information

Page 5: Direct operating expenses

Acquisitions and productions:

Programming and production expenditures are those expenditures made to acquire the exhibition rights to or produce programming and may include both direct and indirect costs:

Direct costs are those costs which are attributable in full to the acquisition or production of programming. This would include salaries and benefits paid to staff who work exclusively in the programming department, non-staff talent fees, program rights, licence fees, films, tapes, props, sets, program related materials and supplies, as well as program vehicle operating costs.

Indirect costs are those costs that are not attributable in full to the acquisition or production of programming but are necessary for its acquisition or production. This would include a reasonable allocation of heat, light and hydro related to the building in which the programming production facilities are located, a reasonable allocation of salaries and benefits paid to staff who do not work exclusively in the program production or acquisition department, but who are on occasion, directly involved in the production of acquisition or programming. It would not include the cost of distributing or transmitting programs, technical equipment parts and supplies, line, microwave or satellite charges, sales and promotion or administration and general costs.

Where an expenditure is made to acquire or produce a program, the amount of the expenditure is to be capitalized. Where a previously capitalized program is subsequently telecast on the licensee's station, the original capitalized cost should be amortized (expensed) on a basis that is reasonable. For example, on the basis of the percentage that the actual advertising revenue earned from telecasting the program in the year is of the total advertising revenue that the licensee expects to earn over the life of its telecasting the program; all to the maximum of the original capitalized cost. Where the expenditure is made on a Canadian program, the amount of the expenditure should be capitalized to the category of Canadian programming. Foreign programming is to be capitalized to the category of non-Canadian programming.

The data should cover all program expenses for programs telecast in the fiscal year ending August 31, 2009. Where broadcasting rights obtained cover more than this fiscal year only the amortized costs should be reported. The grand total of programming and production expenses must reconcile with the total programming and production expense on page 4, line 2.1.

CTV Network affiliates should include the cost of programs acquired through the program service of the network but should exclude their share of the cost of network "sales time" programs.

Equity investments:

The actual amount paid or payable on account of an equity investment in a Canadian production is not in itself an eligible Canadian programming/production expenditure. However, where an equity investment is written-off before its full original cost has been recovered then the unrecovered balance, the loss, may be written-off and claimed as a Canadian program expense.

Please refer to Public Notices CRTC 1993-93 and CRTC 1993-174 for further clarification of the Commission's definition of eligible Canadian programming expenditures and the appropriateness of certain accounting practices.

A. Programs telecast:

Line 1.1 - Co-operative productions are programs produced by two or more television licensees that respond to the needs and interests of the audience in the communities or regions served and involves a sharing of costs and production personnel, particularly in under-represented categories such as drama, music/dance, variety and children's programming.

Line 1.6 - "Special recognition" is a form of Canadian content accreditation given co-ventures (international co-productions involving countries that do not have a film or television production treaty with Canada).

Line 1.8 (a) Close captioning:
Close captioning refers to programs containing closed captioning for the hearing impaired.

Line 1.8 (b) Dubbing:
Where a program is produced in a language in either one or none of the official or aboriginal languages of Canada, and the audio portion of that program is converted into an official language of Canada or an aboriginal Canadian language by a process of lip synchronization.

Line 1.8 (d) Children's programming:
Programs produced for children under 12.

B. Other programming expenses

Lines 1 & 2 - "Program inventory write-downs" - when it is determined that a previously capitalized program acquisition or production will not be telecast on the licensee's facilities or will not be telecast further by the licensee, and:

  1. the program is sold or syndicated, the remaining unamortized portion of the original capitalized cost of the program should be written down through line 1 or 2, as applicable, matching the amortization of the costs against the revenues earned or to be earned from the sale or syndication,
  2. the decision not to telecast or telecast further results in a permanent reduction to the value of the program, that portion of the original capitalized cost of the program representing the reduction should be written down through line 1 or 2, as applicable, in the year that the decision to reduce the value of the program is made.

Line 3 - "Script and concept development expenditures" - The objective of program development funding is to provide for investment in the script and concept development of Canadian programs. Emphasis should be upon providing "seed" money as a means of encouraging the development of innovative projects and Canadian creative talent. Expenditures on Script and Concept development, excluding overhead, are initially to be capitalized. When the program for which the development expenditures were incurred is subsequently developed, the previously capitalized development expenditures are to be capitalized as a cost of the program and are no longer to be considered Script and Concept development expenditures for the purpose of this definition. Conversely, Script and Concept development expenditures incurred on account of programs which are subsequently not developed should be expensed on line B.3, page 5 in the year the decision not to develop the program is made.

Line 4 - "Loss on equity investment/principal on loan's in arm's length productions of Canadian programs" - equity investments and loans to assist in the financing of Canadian productions are not considered to be eligible Canadian program expenditures. However, losses on arm's length equity investments and arm's length loans to assist in the financing of Canadian productions are considered to be eligible and are to be entered on this line in the year that investment/loan is written-off.
