Licence renewal for CKUT-FM
|
|
Following Public Notice CRTC 1994-146 dated 2 December 1994, the Commission renews the licence for campus radio programming undertaking CKUT-FM Montréal, from 1 September 1995 to 31 August 2000, subject to conditions in effect under the current licence, as well as to those conditions specified in this decision and in the licence to be issued.
|
|
The licence term granted herein, while less than the maximum of seven years permitted by the Broadcasting Act, will enable the Commission to consider the next licence renewal of this undertaking in accordance with the Commission's plan for campus stations across Canada and to better distribute the workload within the Commission. This term is not reflective of any Commission concern regarding the licensee's performance.
|
|
The Commission approves the proposal to decrease French-language programming from 15 hours 30 minutes to 6 hours 30 minutes per week and ethnic programming from 6 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours per week. It also approves the licensee's request to decrease the level of French-language music from 10% to 5% per week.
|
|
The Commission notes that the station will broadcast a minimum of 5% Category 3 music (Traditional and Special Interest) as a percentage of overall music programming.
|
|
It is a condition of licence that the licensee retain full control over all decisions concerning the management and programming of this station and that representatives of the student body, faculty, alumni or administration representatives of the university or college with which the station is associated, considered together, form the majority of the board of directors. In addition, the Commission reminds the licensee that, in accordance with the requirements of the "Direction to the CRTC (Eligible Canadian Corporations)", the chairman or other presiding officer and each of the directors or other similar officers of the licensee must be Canadian citizens.
|
|
In accordance with Public Notice CRTC 1993-38 dated 19 April 1993 entitled "Policies for Local Programming on Commercial Radio Stations and Advertising on Campus Stations", the Commission authorizes the licensee, by condition of licence, to broadcast no more than 504 minutes of advertising per broadcast week, with a maximum of 4 minutes in any one hour. Of the weekly total of 504 minutes, a maximum of 126 minutes may be conventional advertising. The remainder of advertising broadcast must conform to the definition of restricted advertising set out in Public Notice CRTC 1993-38.

|
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 considers that campus radio stations should be particularly sensitive to this issue in order to reflect fully the communities they serve. It encourages the licensee to consider employment equity issues in its hiring practices and in all other aspects of its management of human resources.
