INTERNATIONAL CBC, BBG at odds over football telecast NETWORK TOLD TO CARRY PROGRAM FROM ITS RIVAL Last week Canadian viewers still did not know whether they would be able to see the Grey Cup championship football game on Dec. 1 . The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. refused to accept a ruling of the Board of Broadcast Governors that it must carry on its full national network the classic football game originating with its competitor, CTV Television Network Ltd., and also carry all the commercials at regular rates. The CBC board of directors met at Ottawa on Nov. 15 and stated that "the CBC intends to telecast the Grey Cup game as produced by CTV or its associate CFTO-TV (Toronto). The CBC does not intend to accept the advertising messages which will be in the CTV production. The CBC does not intend to allow CTV or any other unauthorized person or organization, either directly or indirectly, to use the national broadcasting service as a sales tool." Since Oct. 1, the tv rights to the Grey Cup game have been bought by James Lovick & Co. Ltd., Toronto advertising agency, for use by its clients Nabob Foods Ltd., British American Oil Co. Ltd., and Labatts Breweries Ltd. The agency announced that the game will not be telecast by CBC without commercials of these advertisers. CBC s legal experts and those of the depuiv attorney-general of Canada claim that the BBG has overstepped its powers in making the regulation requiring CBC to carry the Grey Cup game with commercials supplied by CTV network. CBC is prepared to use ifs full national network for the game without commercials. The CTV network has stations only in nine major markets.
