Pursuant to Public Notice CRTC 1991-121 dated 22 November 1991, the Commission approves the application to amend the broadcasting licence of the radio programming undertaking CKLW-FM Windsor by adding, pursuant to paragraph 2.2(3) of the Radio Regulations, 1986, (the regulations) the following condition of licence:
|
The licensee shall, each broadcast week, devote 12% or more of its musical selections from content category 2 and 10% or more of its musical selections from content category 3 to Canadian selections and schedule those selections in a reasonable manner throughout each broadcast day.
|
The above condition of licence, in effect, grants the licensee an exemption from the regulatory requirement applicable to most radio stations that at least 30% of the musical selections they broadcast be Canadian. The Commission notes, however, that the minimum Canadian content level of 12% for category 2 music specified in the condition is the same as that contained in the licensee's current Promise of Performance. This level was approved by the Commission in Decision CRTC 87-295 as being consistent with the special approach adopted by the Commission towards the regulation of radio stations in the Windsor market.
|
At the next licence renewal hearing, the Commission will examine the special competitive situation for commercial broadcasters in the Windsor market and the financial situation of CKLW-FM, with a view to assessing whether or not exemptions to the regulations and elements of the FM policy should continue to be required.
