Licence renewal for CBFG-FM

It is a condition of licence that the Corporation not broadcast any commercial message of Category 5 (Advertising) except:

a) during programs that are available to the licensee only on a sponsored basis, or

b) as required to fulfil the requirements of the legislation of the Parliament of Canada pertaining to elections.

5.

Consistent with the condition imposed on La Première Chaîne in Decision CRTC 2000-2, it is a condition of licence that 50% or more of the category 2 music selections broadcast each broadcast month be Canadian, and that these selections be scheduled in a reasonable manner throughout the broadcast day.

6.

Consistent with the condition imposed on La Première Chaîne in Decision CRTC 2000-2, it is a condition of licence that 20% or more of the category 3 music selections broadcast each broadcast month be Canadian.
