Following Public Notice CRTC 1996-25 dated 20 February 1996, the Commission renews the broadcasting licence for CHTR-FM Drumheller from 1 September 1996 to 31 August 2003, 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.

The Commission notes that this undertaking will continue to provide a tourist information service consisting of pre-recorded messages, 24 hours a day from May to October. The licensee has indicated that no commercial messages will be broadcast.

In Public Notice CRTC 1993-95 dated 28 June 1993 and entitled "A Licensing Policy for Low-Power Radio Broadcasting", the Commission stated that the licensees of low-power radio undertakings should be subject to a condition of licence that would define their programming in such a way as to ensure that they do not change their programming and begin to offer the same service as conventional licensees, without Commission approval.
|
|
The Commission has considered the circumstances of this application and is of the view that it would be appropriate to apply the policy to it. Accordingly, it is a condition of licence that this station be used solely to broadcast pre-recorded tourist information. It is also a condition of licence that the service broadcast no advertising material.
