Fairchild Television II would offer an array of information and entertainment television programs broadcast predominantly in the Cantonese language while Talentvision II would offer information and entertainment TV programs in the Mandarin-language.

Both Fairchild submissions were opposed by Mr. Gilbert Kan who argued their approval would create a monopoly for Fairchild in the market for Chinese-speaking viewers and listeners. The commission dismissed the intervention by saying tehy were satisfied that there are numerous other foreign Chinese-language programming undertakings available to subsribers in Canada.

Fairchild submitted that most of the programming planned for airing on its new specialty service could not be scheduled for airing on the current analog service due to its already fully occupied airtime capacity.
