Decision CRTC 96-166
|
|
Onikamook Communication Society, on behalf of a company to be incorporated
|
|
Sandy Lake, Ontario - 950760900
|
|
New native radio programming undertaking
|
|
Following a Public Hearing in the National Capital Region beginning on 15 April 1996, the Commission approves the application for a broadcasting licence for an English- and Native-language FM radio programming undertaking at Sandy Lake, on the frequency 89.9 MHz, channel 210VLP, with an effective radiated power of 10 watts.
|
|
Consistent with Public Notice CRTC 1990-89 dated 20 September 1990 entitled "Native Broadcasting Policy" and subject to the requirements of this decision, the Commission will issue a licence for a Type A FM native radio undertaking. This licence will expire on 31 August 1999, and will be subject to the conditions specified in the licence to be issued.
|
|
The licence term granted herein, while less than the maximum of seven years permitted under the Broadcasting Act, will enable the Commission to consider the renewal of this licence in accordance with the Commission's regional plan for native radio undertakings across Canada and to better distribute the workload within the Commission.
|
|
The Commission notes that this undertaking is owned and controlled by a not-for-profit organization whose structure provides for membership, management, operation, and programming primarily by members of the community at large.
|
|
The Commission notes that the applicant will broadcast 50 hours per week of local programming, with 80% of programming in Oji-Cree and 20% in English. Additional programming will originate from the Wawatay Native Communications Society radio network.
|
|
The applicant is reminded of the requirements for Canadian musical selections set out in the Radio Regulations, 1986.
|
|
This authority will only be effective and the licence will only be issued at such time as construction of the undertaking is completed and it is prepared to commence operation. If the construction is not completed within twelve months of the date of this decision or, where the applicant applies to the Commission within this period and satisfies the Commission that it cannot complete construction and commence operation before the expiry of this period, and that an extension of time is in the public interest, within such further periods of time as are approved in writing by the Commission, the licence will not be issued. The applicant is required to advise the Commission (before the expiry of the twelve-month period or any extension thereof) in writing, once it has completed construction and is prepared to commence operation.
|
|
This decision is to be appended to the licence.
