  1. The Commission corrects paragraph 16 of CIVR-FM Yellowknife – Licence renewal, Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2021-88, 23 February 2021 (Broadcasting Decision 2021-88), condition of licence 2.a) set out in Appendix 1 to that decision, and Appendix 2 to that decision, in order to change to 1 March 2021 the beginning of the period during which the licensee must broadcast on CIVR-FM Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, an announcement relating to its non-compliance with the Radio Regulations, 1986.
  2. The above-noted paragraph 16 and condition of licence 2.a) shall now read as follows (corrections regarding the start date are noted in bold):

    (paragraph 16 of Broadcasting Decision 2021-88)

    16. In addition, in light of the serious and recurring nature of CIVR-FM’s non-compliance, the Commission finds that it would be appropriate to require Radio Taïga to broadcast on CIVR-FM an on-air announcement regarding its non-compliance three times a day, distributed in a reasonable manner between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. or between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., for five consecutive days within the 14-day period beginning 1 March 2021. To confirm compliance with this requirement, the licensee must file with the Commission the audio recordings for the broadcast days during which the announcement was broadcast and a completed and signed Attestation as to the broadcast of the non-compliance announcement on CIVR-FM Yellowknife, which can be found in Appendix 2 to this decision. A condition of licence to that effect is set out in Appendix 1 to this decision.

    (condition of licence 2.a) set out in Appendix 1 to Broadcasting Decision 2021-88)

    2.a) The licensee shall broadcast the following announcement three times a day, distributed in a reasonable manner between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. or between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., for five consecutive days within the 14-day period beginning 1 March 2021:

    Radio frequencies are a limited public resource. Holding a broadcasting licence is a privilege, and broadcasters are required to abide by a number of regulations and conditions of licence in order to operate a radio station. In Broadcasting Decision 2021-88, the CRTC determined that this station is in non-compliance with the Radio Regulations, 1986. The instance of non-compliance occurred during the 2015-2016 broadcast year and is a recurring issue. CIVR-FM has put measures in place to ensure that the instances of non-compliances in question do not reoccur.

    b) The licensee shall file with the Commission the audio recordings for the broadcast days during which the announcement was broadcast and a completed and signed Attestation as to the broadcast of the non-compliance announcement on CIVR-FM Yellowknife, set out in Appendix 2 to CIVR-FM Yellowknife – Licence renewal, Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2021-88, 23 February 2021, by no later than 14 days following the final broadcast of the announcement.

  3. Further, the appendix to the present decision (with the above-noted correction set out in bold) shall replace Appendix 2 to Broadcasting Decision 2021-88.
