Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Application No. 2002-0404-0

 

Application by Community Radio of Saskatoon Inc. to renew the licence of radio station CFCR-FM expiring 31 August 2003.

 

In Decision CRTC 2001-677 the Commission renewed the station's licence and announced a mandatory order requiring that the licensee comply with Canadian content regulations.

 

The Commission notes that in May 2002, CFCR-FM submitted incomplete logger tapes to the Commission. This is therefore an alleged violation of subsections 8(5) an 8(6) of the Radio Regulations, 1986.

 

The Commission expects the licensee to show cause at this hearing why a mandatory order requiring the licensee to comply with these subsections of the Radio Regulations, 1986, should not be issued.

 

Decision 2001-677 says: "The Commission emphasizes that it may have recourse to additional measures in the event of any future non-compliance with the conditions of licence or regulations, including suspension, non-renewal or revocation of the licence."

 

The Commission also therefore expects the licensee to show cause at this hearing why the Commission should not suspend or fail to renew the licence.
