Decision

Ottawa, 19 April 1993

Decision CRTC 93-123

RADIO LICENCE AMENDMENTS

INTRODUCTION

In Public Notice CRTC 1992-72 dated 2 November 1992, and entitled "A Review of the CRTC's Regulations and Policies for Radio", the Commission announced that it would be prepared to eliminate the requirement for radio stations to seek approval from the Commission for the relocation of antenna sites and broadcast studios. The Commission will still require licensees of radio stations to apply to the Commission for approval to change their coverage area.

In the same notice, the Commission also announced that it would remove the policy requirement for commercial English-language FM stations limiting the number of times a non-Canadian musical selection may be repeated (the maximum repeat factor), as well as the requirement that these stations ensure that a minimum of 850 distinct musical selections be broadcast each week.

PUBLIC NOTICE CRTC 1993-10

In Public Notice CRTC 1993-10 dated 17 February 1993, the Commission announced applications submitted by various licensees in response to the Commission's statement in Public Notice CRTC 1992-72 that it would be prepared to eliminate the above-noted requirements. The applications were listed in four parts which are set out as follows in the appendices to this decision: APPENDIX I - Antenna Site Location, Station Contours and Studio Location

APPENDIX II - Weekly Music List and Maximum Repeat Factor

APPENDIX III - Antenna Site Location, Station Contours and Studio Location; Weekly Music List and Maximum Repeat Factor

APPENDIX IV - Antenna Site Location; Weekly Music List and Maximum Repeat Factor

DECISION

The Commission approves all applications, as listed in the appendices to this decision, with the four following exceptions:

 Radiomutuel Inc. (CIMO-FM)
 Magog, Quebec - 922158100

 NewCap Broadcasting Limited (CFCW)
 Camrose, Alberta - 921843900

 CHUM Limited (CKDQ)
 Drumheller, Alberta - 921821500

 Radio QX-FM Inc. (CFQX-FM)
 Selkirk, Manitoba - 921770400

The Commission approves in part the applications to amend the licences of the four radio programming undertakings noted above.

Specifically, the Commission approves the applications to amend the licences of CIMO-FM, CFCW, CKDQ and CFQX-FM by deleting the following terms of licence concerning the antenna site location, as set out in each licence:

 ... with the broadcasting transmitting antenna(s) located at a site(s) authorized by the Commission.

The Commission, however, denies the part of the applications to amend the licences for CIMO-FM, CFCW, CKDQ and CFQX-FM by replacing the terms of licence concerning the studio location. Based on the licensing histories of these stations, the Commission wishes to retain the flexibility to review in some detail the manner in which these stations continue to provide service to the communities for which they are licensed, should they wish to relocate their studios in the future.

In the case of Radio QX-FM Inc., the Commission also approves the application to amend the licence of CFQX-FM Selkirk by deleting the requirements contained in the licensee's Promise of Performance, Part II, specifying a minimum weekly number of distinct musical selections, excluding repeats, and a maximum number of times a distinct musical selection may be broadcast.

APPLICATION SUBJECT OF A SEPARATE DECISION

 CJRN 710 Inc. (CKEY-FM)
 
Fort Erie, Ontario - 921886800

The Commission notes that the application (921886800) submitted by CJRN 710 Inc. for CKEY-FM Fort Erie, Ontario, is related to another application which was announced in Public Notice CRTC 1993-9 dated 17 February 1993. These two applications are the subject of Decision CRTC 93-122 released today.

INTERVENTIONS

The Commission acknowledges the following interventions: that submitted by Dr. Walter L.M. Friedl with respect to the applications by CHUM Limited for radio stations CKWW and CIMX-FM Windsor, Ontario; by Jennifer Blackie with respect to the application by Power Broadcasting Inc. for CIMJ-FM Guelph, Ontario; and by Zyg Janecki with respect to the application by Electrohome Limited for CFCA-FM Kitchener, Ontario.

In each case, the Commission is satisfied with the licensee's reply to the concerns raised.

Allan J. Darling
Secretary General
