Biographical history
Dates of Founding and/or Dissolution:;The Alberta Educational Communications Corporation Act (S.A. Chapter 3, 1973) was assented to May 10, 1973. Section two of the act establishes an authority, through which the corporation would report to the government. The Authority, known as the Alberta Educational Communication Authority (AECA), then undertook initial plans for establishment of the corporation. On October 1973, the remaining sections of the act were proclaimed to establish the Alberta Educational Communications Corporation. In November of 1994, The Alberta Government approved a proposal by Learning and Skills Television of Alberta (LTA), and Alberta company owned and controlled by the principals of Canadian Learning Television (CLT), to privatize the Alberta Educational Communication Corporation. The Alberta Educational Communications Corporation was sold to the Learning Skills Television of Alberta on April 1, 1995. Functional Responsibility:;The Alberta Educational Communication Corporation existed as an independent statutory company that served to provide a framework for within which educational broadcasting and the development, production and distribution of educational programs and material could take place. The corporation's powers are outlined in the enabling legislation, The Alberta Educational Communications Corporation Act, 1973. Administrative Relationships:;The Alberta Educational Communication Corporation's cable, radio and television services were federally licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunication Commission, (CRTC) and operated in accordance with federal broadcasting regulations, policies and conditions of licenses. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunication Commission, (CRTC) required that the Alberta Educational Communications Corporation was independent from the Provincial Government to meet the federal provisions of Order-in-Council (1972-1569). In 1976 the CRTC held that the legislation that established t he Corporation as a broadcasting agency did not guarantee a sufficient degree of independence from government direction. The CRTC was satisfied that no improper directions had been given since the Corporation's establishment: they were concerned only with the potentialities of the act. The enabling legislation was amended revised, (R.S.A. Chapter A-18, 1980). The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Alberta Educational Communications Corporation reported to the Alberta Educational Communication Authority. The AECA transmitted information from the Corporation to the Minister responsible. Administration Structure:;The president or chief executive officer reported to Board of Directors of the Corporation. The operational and administrative structure of the Alberta Educational Communications Corporation varied in both name of corporate divisions and organizational structure over the twenty-two years the company was in operation. Initially the major divisions in the Corporation were programming and operations, each controlled by a vice-president who reported to the president. By 1982 the Corporation had four major divisions that included programming, production, technical services and distribution and finally administration and research. Each of the four divisions had a general manager who reported directly to president. Names of the Corporation:;The Alberta Educational Communication Corporation also adopted the trade name ACCESS. In 1985 the trade name for Alberta Educational Communication Corporation was changed to Access Network. Chief Officers:;Larry T. Shorten, 1973 to 1982, Peter L. Senchuk, 1982 to 1991, Don Thomas, 1992 to 1993, vacant position, 1994 to 1995
