Swift Current, Saskatchewan - 941452500

|
Licence renewal for CKSW
|
|
Following Public Notice CRTC 1995-79 dated 12 May 1995 and Decision CRTC 95-669 dated 30 August 1995, the Commission renews the broadcasting licence for CKSW Swift Current from 1 December 1995 to 31 August 2002, subject to the conditions in effect under the current licence, as well as to those conditions specified in the licence to be issued.
|
|
The Commission reaffirms the particular importance it attaches to Canadian talent development and notes the licensee's commitment to contribute only $2,500. The Commission considers that the licensee has the resources, talent and facilities to expand considerably upon its Canadian talent development initiatives.
|
|
However, the Commission notes that, on 17 November 1995, it released Public Notice CRTC 1995-196 entitled "Contributions by Radio Stations to Canadian Talent Development - A New Approach". As a result of this public notice, licensees may apply for relief from the direct cost commitments for Canadian talent development considered as part of this licence renewal, and to amend their licence by adding a condition of licence requiring payments to third parties involved in Canadian talent development at the level identified for it in the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' "Distribution Guidelines For Canadian Talent Development", as set out in the public notice.
|
|
Accordingly, it requires the licensee to file a report, within three months of the date of this decision, specifying its plans to increase its commitment with regard to the support, development and on-air exposure of local and regional talent or to submit an application in line with the guidelines set out in Public Notice CRTC 1995-196.

|
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 this regard, the Commission encourages the licensee to consider employment equity issues in its hiring practices and in all other aspects of its management of human resources.
