Public Notice CRTC 2000-106

Ottawa, 20 July 2000
The Commission has received the following application:
ATLANTIC & QUEBEC REGION / RÉGION DE L’ATLANTIQUE ET DU QUÉBEC
1. ST. JOHN’S, Newfoundland
Application (200017518) by WESLEY UNITED CHURCH RADIO BOARD, P.O. Box 7430, St. John’s, Newfoundland, A1E 3Y5, to amend the broadcasting licence for VOWR St. John’s.
In Public Notice 1998-132, the Commission announced amendments to the Radio Regulations, 1986 that require commercial radio stations to broadcast a minimum level of 35% of Canadian popular music. Radio stations whose formats are based on the presentation of older music could request flexibility to broadcast a lower level of this music. VOWR has requested this flexibility and the condition of licence set out below will allow it to broadcast a minimum level of 30% of Canadian musical selections.
"The licensee shall, as an exception to the percentage of Canadian musical selections set out in sections 2.2(8) and 2.2(9) of the Radio Regulations, 1986, in any broadcast week where at least 90% of musical selections from content category 2 that it broadcasts are selections released before 1 January 1981:

in that broadcast week, devote 30% or more of its musical selections from content category 2 to Canadian selections broadcast in their entirety; and

between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., in the period beginning on Monday of that week and ending on Friday of the same broadcast week, devote 30% or more of its musical selections from content category 2 to Canadian selections broadcast in their entirety."

The licensee would also be responsible for specifying, on the music lists it provides to the Commission, the year of release for all musical selections it broadcasts.
For purposes of this condition the terms "broadcast week", "content category" and "musical selection" shall have the meaning set out in section 2 of the Radio Regulations, 1986.
