Decision

Ottawa, 25 August 1994
Decision CRTC 94-682
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Kirkland Lake, Ontario - 932390800
Licence renewal for CBCR-FM
Pursuant to Public Notice CRTC 1994-44 dated 19 April 1994, the Commission renews the broadcasting licence for the radio programming undertaking CBCR-FM Kirkland Lake, 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 this decision and in the licence to be issued.
Although the CBC has indicated its expectation that CBCR-FM will be implemented within the next several years, the Commission expects the licence to be implemented within the new licence term. The Commission notes that CBCR-FM will rebroadcast the programming of CBCS-FM Sudbury.
It is a condition of licence that the Corporation not broadcast any commercial message of Category 5 (Advertising) except:
a) during programs that are available to the licensee only on a sponsored basis, or
b) as required to fulfil the requirements of the legislation of the Parliament of Canada
pertaining to elections, or
c) in communities where there is no other programming undertaking broadcasting in the same language.
It is a condition of licence that 50% or more of the category 2 music selections broadcast each broadcast week be Canadian and that these selections be scheduled
in a reasonable manner throughout the broadcast day.
It is a condition of licence that 20% or more of the category 3 music selections broadcast each broadcast week be Canadian.
It is also a condition of licence that the licensee adhere to its self-regulatory guidelines on sex-role portrayal as amended from time to time and approved by the Commission, and, as a minimum, to the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' "Sex-role Portrayal Code for Television and Radio Programming", as amended from time to time and approved by the Commission.
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. In the case of the Corporation, the Commission has addressed these matters in the decision renewing the CBC's television network licences.
