Public Notice

Ottawa, 18 March 1985
Public Notice CRTC 1985-55
Proposed Amendment to the Radio (F.M.) Broadcasting Regulations
In Public Notice CRTC 1984-233 dated 25 September 1984 and entitled "Windsor Radio Review", the Commission acknowledged that a number of very special characteristics set Windsor from all other Canadian markets and warranted an exceptionally flexible regulatory approach, particularly with respect to the application of the FM policy.
An amendment to the Radio (F.M.) Broadcasting Regulations was enacted on 1 March 1985, prescribing a new class of FM licence, namely an experimental FM licence. The amendment, which will be published in a forthcoming Canada Gazette, is designed to allow the Commission the regulatory flexibility to deal with special situations, such as Windsor, on an experimental basis.
For similar reasons, the Commission now proposes a further amendment to the Radio (F.M.) Broadcasting Regulations, in accordance with the schedule attached hereto, which would exclude holders of experimental FM licences from the application of section 17 of the said regulations. Section 17 restricts the use of pre-recorded matter by FM stations.
All interested parties wishing to comment on the proposed amendment must send their submissions to the Secretary General, CRTC, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0N2, by 12 April 1985.
