Licence renewal and amendment for CKOV
|
|
Pursuant to Public Notice CRTC 1994-25 dated 14 March 1994, the Commission renews the broadcasting licence for CKOV Kelowna, from 1 September 1994 to 31 August 1997, subject to the conditions in effect under the current licence, as well as to those conditions specified in in this decision and in the licence to be issued. This term will enable the Commission to consider the renewal of this licence at the same time as that of other radio stations in the area.
|
|
Pursuant to Public Notice CRTC 1994-63 dated 6 June 1994, the Commission also approves the application to amend the broadcasting licence for CKOV, by adding the following condition of licence consistent with Public Notice CRTC 1993-5 dated 29 January 1993 entitled "Changes to the Content Requirements for Canadian Music on Radio":
|
|
in those periods of category 2 music consisting exclusively of music composed before 1956, the Canadian content level is not less than 2% on a weekly basis; and
|
|
in those periods of category 2 music consisting of 90% or more, but not exclusively, of music composed before 1956, the Canadian content level shall be not less than 10% on a weekly basis.
|
|
In this regard, the Commission notes that it will be the licensee's responsiblity to ascertain the date of composition of the selections it broadcasts and that it must also identify the periods of pre-1956 station-originated programming whenever requested by the Commission to submit information concerning the station's broadcasting of Canadian music.
|
|
As part of this renewal application, the licensee submitted a report detailing the annual five-year benefit expenditures undertaken in the areas of news and public affairs, news programming, and Canadian talent development, flowing from the purchase of this station approved in Decision CRTC 88-572. Based on the licensee's report, the Commission is satisfied with the implementation of these benefits.
|
|
The Commission reaffirms the particular importance it attaches to the development of Canadian talent and is satisfied with the annual budgets allocated and the initiatives proposed by the licensee in this respect. It encourages the licensee, during the new licence term, to continue its efforts towards the support, development and on-air exposure of local and regional talent.
|
|
In Public Notice CRTC 1992-59 dated 1 September 1992 and entitled "Implementation of an Employment Equity Policy", the Commission announced that the employment equity practices of broadcasters would be subject to examination by the Commission. It encourages the licensee to consider employment equity issues in its hiring practices and in all other aspects of its management of human resources.
