The comment is accompanied by a small laugh, but

FORMER CRTC
CZAR WORRIED
ABOUT THE CBC

By KIRK LaPOINTE .
The Canadian Press

John Meisel, the Austrian-born academic with the
lamb’s-wool hair and owlish glasses, clammed up after he
stepped down as the country’s broadcasting czar.

“It’s been two years since I left,” says the former
chairman of the Canadian Radio-televison and Telecom-
munications Commission. “Well, I guess it's time to speak
up. 3

Meisel, who spends his days teaching and writing about
culture and history at Queen’s University, confessed that
when he took the chairman's job in 1980 he didn't watch
much television. Now, he has a lot to say about the medium
and the way it is being regulated by the commission and
treated by the federal government.

He's worried about the CBC. He's concerned that bright
new broadcasting ideas are being discouraged by the CRTC.
He's angry that the government is getting ready to erode
the arm's-length ionship with the ission that
allows the CRTC the freedom to rule the airwaves.
RECORD ‘POOR’

“You know, other than on CBC, Canadians don’t have *

much of a chance to see themselves,” he says. “The private
broadcasters have a pretty poor record in that regard,
although I think there’s some improvement.”

But, as a task force examines the public network's role
and the government prepares to use that group's report to
redesign the broadcast system, there are concerns that some
of the CBC's activities will be shifted to the private sector.

“I worry there's a danger of replacing CBC with
something less effective,” says Meisel, who almost broke his
post-CRTC silence last year to complain about the
government's decision to cut the network's budget.

“CBC needed someone to speak for them, but one of the
problems is that the public broadcasting lobby is: divided.”

When the conversation turns to his old stamping-
ground, Meisel leads off by saying he doesn't want to be
“critical.” Then, for all intents and purposes, he criticizes.

MUST BE SOLVENT

New CRTC chairman Andfe Bureau, who Meisel calls “a
very able guy.” has emphasized the need for financial
stability in broadcasting. Essentially, Bureau's approach
means applicants for new ventures must not come forward
unless they have what's known in the business as “deep
pockets,” lots of cash on hand to get them through their
early and-_leaner days.

Meisel, who oversaw the controversial introduction of
pay TV in Canada in 1983, worries that the commission's
recent preoccupation with “the bottom line . . . perhaps
discourages some kinds of that might eve: I;
get financed.” _

When Meisel says “some kinds of applications,” he
means the ones that are more ambitious than well-heeled.

“People should have the freedom to go broke.”

Meisel, 62, likened his CRTC job to military service. He
was a reluctant draftee and his appointment by the
short-lived Joe Clark government was greeted with wartime
enmity by the industries he regulated.

“J was a very peace-loving chap when I came in,” Meisel
says. “If I could run away,.I would. But when I got to the
commission, I found that I loved a good fight.”

At first, the broadcasters thought he was an egghead
out of his element. By the end of his tenure, some of their
anger had softened. A few were sorry to see him go, but
many more were happy that broadcast executive Bureau
was taking over. : -

Bureau inherited the job only months after pay TV got
under way, but by that time the business was bleeding.
C-Channel had folded, the Atlantic service had slipped into
receivership and First Choice was at death's door. Many
were questioning .the CRTC's decision to license a
competitive pay TV system in which profits were hard to

PWA WANTS
HOT EDICT
LIFTED_

VANCOUVER (CP) — Pacific Western Airlines’
profitability will be irreparably harmed if unions at Pacific
Press continue to refuse to handle newspaper advertise-
ments from the strike-bound airline, says company spokes-
man Gerry Francis.

Th

e Guild, which rep advertising
staff, and the International Typographical Union have
invoked a clause in their contracts allowing them to refuse to
handle material from “unfair employers.”

The move followed last week's decision by the British
Columbia Federation of Labor to issue a “hot” declaration
against the airline to assist the two-week-old strike by 1,800
of the airline's employees. ri

Pacific Press publishes Vancouver's two daily news-
papers, which handle 80 per cent of PWA's advertising in
the province.

The airline and its Vancouver advertising agency,
WestCan Cole, are asking the B.C. Supreme Court to issue
an injunction forcing the federation to lift its hot edict and
the newspaper unions to work on PWA ads.

Francis, in an affidavit filed with the court, said
newspapers are the airline's key to medium, particularly as
the Christmas season approaches. If the airline can't
advertise in the Sun and Province, he said, its market share
will. erode “and may never. be restored ‘due to the
competitive market facing airlines.”

PWA lawyer Murray Clemens told the court WestCan
Cole has a long-standing igation with Pacific
Press, which so far this year has handled more than $700,000
worth of PWA advertising. He said that on Nov. 26,
WesiCan booked space for eight ads to run from Nov. 29 to
Dec. 11 at a value of $45,000. :

The federation said last week it was taking the unusual
action of issuing a hot edict only nine days into the strike
because PWA has employed “scabs . . . professional strike-
breakers to harass and intimidate picketers ... . and has
refused to bargain in good faith.” =

Federation president Art Kube said Monday that
PWA's court challenge indicates the hot edict is having an
effect.

Lawyers for the federation and the two newspaper
unions are arguing that the B.C. Labor Relations Board and
not the court is the proper jurisdiction to hear the case.

Meanwhile, the three striking unions at PWA say they
will stick together despite the company’s refusal to bargain
until the unions agree to negotiate separately.

“We are sticking together as the Co-Action alliance,”
said allilance spokesman Trisha Lindsay.

“The time to negotiate singly has passed. We are very
definitely together.”

‘The alliance, representing 1,800 PWA workers in the
United. Auto Workers who bargain for ticket agents, the
International Association of Machinists and the Canadian
Air Line Flight Attendants’ Association, has been on strike
since Nov. 20. The company has continued to operate.

Lindsay said PWA hasn't told the union committee that
it is willing to negotiate individually although it has made
that statement to the media.

PWA spokesman Jack Lawless said the airline has no
intention of contacting the unions.

“There is really nothing to talk about.”

Meanwhile, RCMP said they were investigating a
complaint by a UAW member that he was assaulted on the
picket line Saturday by a man the union described as a PWA
security employee.

Lindsay said baggage handler Gene Salas was picketing
near the cargo area at Vancouver International Airport
when a catering truck servicing a PWA flight approached
the area where Salas was standing.

She said a man got out of the truck and approached the
picket line. Both Salas and the man from the truck had

Shaw Cable workers rep-

nearly four months against
the cable company and there
is little hope of the dispute

“Shaw Cable's board of dir-

The company says in a pre-
pared release that the board

this was turned down by

Three ticket agents, mem-

‘Terry Champion, spokes-

man for the pilots, said Tues-

having an adverse effect on
the company.”

The Calgary-based airline
has continued operations
since the strike by 1,800
employees started Nov. 20 by
using managerial and non-
union replacements.

Champion said the training
of non-union personnel “must
be costing. the company
money.”

Further, “the impression is

so revenue would be down as
well,” he said, stressing he
had no hard information to
