Scott said hecould see nothing preventing Windsor residents using the service; the ony problem would be if the descrambler interfered with the transmission of other signals. A 1978 CRTC report on pay-TV said broadcasters proposals to provided pay-TV systems similar to those in the U.S. (which rely heavily on movies and sports) failed to satisfy Section 3 of the Broadcasting Act, which stipulates Canadian broadcasting should be of a high standard, using predominantly Canadian creative sources. The commission recommended against the introduction of pay-TV, and noted the push for its establishment comes not from consumers but from broadcasters, with cable operators saying they should control it, while the broadcasting industry said it should have control.

Jerry Blount, general manager of Metro HomeTheatre, said his system will supply the Home Box Office service which has more than 2 million subscribers in the U.S. which owns National Subscription Television, the Los Angeles pay-TV operation with 120,000 subscribers, Johnson said. He hopes to have 50,000 subscribers in this area by the end of the first year. Johnson said discussions are being held with Detroit professional sports teams about coverage of home games, but he said he didn't know how successful the talks would be. As for Canadian subscribers, Johnson said he would have to check into the regulations to see if the idea violated any Candian law We certainly wouldn't want to do that.

A source at the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission said it is quite likely the commission wouldn't do anything about preventing Windsor residents from receiving pay-TV, since it is only a matter of time before pay-TV comes to Canada. Ken Katz, of the CRTCs legal branch, said nothing in the Broadcasting Act would prevent Windsor residents purchasing the service. He added that, if the transmission was meant for the general public, then it would fall within the realm of broadcasting and no restrictions would exist. But, since it is available only to those who have a descrambler, it may require a licence from the federal department of communications. But W.W.

ED Cousteau Odyssey Church ol Our Lord Jesus Christ GU Grand-Papa By Tom McMahon Detroit-area residents will soon have two pay-TV services from which to choose and, although some of the legal ramifications are unclear, it appears likely that Windsor residents will be able to subscribe to one of them. WXON (Channel 20) hopes to he able to provide pay-TV service by July 1, station general manager and president Aben Johnson said Monday. Meanwhile, Metro Home Theatre, a subsidiary of Maclean Hunter which currently supplies pay-TV to apartments and hotels, hopes to move into residental pay-TV this summer.

Both services require a descrambler attachment to the set to allow viewers to see the programming. The service provided by Channel 20 first-run movies, sports, educational and arts programming will cost a subscriber approximately $55 for installation of a descrambler and $20 a month usage fee. Johnson said the service would be on the air somewhere around 8 p.m. to midnight." Pay-TV would occupy only a small part of our time we are still going to be a commercial network," Johnson said. Currently, Channel 20s evening broadcasting consists of religious programming and reruns of old U.S.

series such as Room 222 and theTwilightZone. The service would be provided by the Chartwell Company, one of the partners with Oak Industries 'pk .,4 Metro currently has about, 1.800 subscribers in Detroit--area apartments and hotels It expects monthly cost to be approximately $13 with an instalation fee of between.

A committee of producers led by Monica Sims, head of the BBC's Programs for Children, has ordered a revision of existing guidelines on the portrayal of violence on the home screen. And even tougher restrictions are being imposed on the use of bad language. A repeat of the controversial TV play Gotcha has been banned by director-general Ian Trethowan. From now on, no four-letter word can be used in a BBC production without the go- ahead from Trethowan. This doesn't mean we are losing our nerve, he says.

FOR INFORMATION CONTACT COMMUNITY CENTRES Stratfords Richard Monette notorious womanizer in words and music Casanovas life is CBC tribute to St. Valentine By James Nelson OTTAWA (CP) Casanova wag a bounder. He was, of course, a liar and a cheat. Perhaps he had to be to go into the history books as the worlds greatest womanizer. He was also a gambler.

And a writer and a musician A word-portrait of Giacomo Girolamo Casanova in his own words, taken from his 12 volumes of memoirs will be broadcast Wednesday to mark St. Valentine's Day on the CBC radio and stereo networks. Richard Monette, a Stratford Festival actor who, in his own career has portrayed many aspects of love, reads Casanova's part, with his voice ranging in age from that of a teen-ager to an old man. Casanova studied for the priesthood but was expelled for immorality. He fathered his first child at least, the first he admitted at the age of 15.

He died in 1798, in Bohemia, at the age of 73, not so much repenting his sins (as) regretting he could no longercommit them. He was perhaps the most widely travelled man of his day, going from his native Italy as far afield as Spain, England, Russia and urkey often driven from one city to the next by the authorities, creditors or irate fathers. Casanova was imprisoned numerous times, once for 15 months on suspicion of practising black magic. He was caught in Maria-Theresas Vienna relieving himself in a public place. And, of course, he met like the kind of journalist he was many interesting people, including Lord Pembroke, who never washed but shaved himself three times a day so as to be smooth-cheeked for his loves.

The hour-long radio show, using liberal quantities of music by Casanova's contemporaries, Vivaldi, Pergolesi, Johann Christian Bach and Frederick the Great, was produced by Keith Horner. Horner called on Monette to read Casanovas words after the young Montreal- born actor broadcast his tour-de-force performance of Barry Collins Judgement, which he originated last summer at the Stratford Festival.
