Decision

Ottawa, 13 August 1992
Decision CRTC 92-565
Radio Nord Inc.
Val-d'Or, Quebec - 912051000
Pursuant to Public Notice CRTC 1992-7 dated 20 January 1992, the Commission renews the broadcasting licence for the television programming undertaking consisting of Quatre-Saisons television network affiliate CFVS-TV Val-d'Or and its transmitter CFVS-TV-1 Rouyn, from 1 September 1992 to 31 August 1997, subject to the conditions specified in the licence to be issued.
As outlined in the preamble to this decision, the Commission has granted this five-year renewal in view of the generally-poor financial results of the past few years and the uncertain economic climate. This term will allow for an early review of the situation.
The Commission expects the licensee to broadcast 1 hour and 15 minutes of local news programming weekly, as proposed in its licence renewal application, and to ensure that these newcasts are different from those of CKRN-TV and CFEM-TV.
The Commission encourages the licensee to rebroadcast in full the captioning provided within captioned programming.
While CFVS-TV's renewal application made no specific commitments for the captioning of local program production, the Commission expects the station, at a minimum, to provide captioning (open or closed) or signing of local news headlines, during the new licence term. The Commision notes the commitments made by the licensee with respect to CFVS-TV's policy on programming produced by native organizations.
The Department of Communications has advised the Commission that it is prepared to renew the Broadcasting Certificate for a period of two years only, expiring 31 August 1994. With respect to the operation of this undertaking beyond this period, the Commission draws the licensee's attention to subsection 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act pertaining to the technical certification of broadcasting undertakings and to subsection 22(4) which provides that any broadcasting licence issued, amended or renewed in contravention of section 22 is of no force or effect.The Commission acknowledges the interventions and comments received with respect to this licence renewal application.
