Application No. 2005-0211-3
|
|
|
Application by Corus Radio Company (Corus) to renew the licence of the commercial radio programming undertaking CHMJ Vancouver, expiring 31 August 2005.
|
|
|
On 4 June 2004, the Commission issued Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2004-196 (Decision 2004-196) Complaint regarding the broadcast of an episode of The Tom Leykis Show on radio station CHMJ Vancouver. This decision was the result of a complaint from a radio listener regarding the content of a promotional spot and program identification message that aired on CHMJ during the 1 November 2002 broadcast of an episode of the U.S. syndicated radio program, The Tom Leykis Show. Based on its review of the logger tape of the program episode in question, the Commission found that Corus breached the prohibition against the broadcast of any abusive comment contained in the Radio Regulations, 1986 and failed to meet a number of Canadian broadcasting policy objectives set out in the Broadcasting Act, including the high standard provision.
|
|
|
The Commission further noted in Decision 2004-196 that the licensee had ceased to broadcast the program.
|
|
|
The Commission required Corus, as part of its licence renewal application, to provide a report on the measures and mechanisms it has in place to ensure that the content of the programming on CHMJ adheres at all times to the Act and the Radio Regulations, as well as on the implementation and effectiveness of these measures and mechanisms.

In Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2005-101, 9 March 2005 (the decision) Complaint regarding the broadcast of an episode of Loveline on CHMJ, Vancouver,the Commission addressed a complaint regarding an episode of a U.S. syndicated radio program entitled Loveline that was broadcast by CHMJ. The episode was broadcast between 10:00 p.m. and midnight on 23 December 2002. The complainant requested that the Commission review the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC) Decision 02/03-0459, 22 July 2003. The complaint was initially referred to the CBSC for resolution, since CHMJ is a CBSC member. Based on its review of the segment of the episode of Loveline at issue, the Commission found that, by broadcasting the episode, Corus failed to meet a number of Canadian broadcasting policy objectives set out in the Broadcasting Act, including the provision that provides that programming should be of high standard. The Commissionfound, however, that the licensee did not breach the provision contained in the Radio Regulations, 1986 that prohibits the broadcast of any abusive comment.
|
|
|
As part of the current renewal application, the Commission received the report on the measures and mechanisms that Corus has in place to ensure full compliance.
|
|
|
The licensee advised the Commission that CHMJ is now an all sports radio station.
