Decision

Ottawa, 17 October 1996
Decision CRTC 96-680
Blackburn Radio Inc.
London, Ontario - 951015700
Licence renewal for CFPL
Following Public Notice CRTC 1996-98 dated 12 July 1996 and Decision CRTC 96-585 dated 30 August 1996, the Commission renews the broadcasting licence for the radio programming undertaking CFPL London, from 1 January 1997 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 licensee is required, by condition of licence, to make payments to third parties involved in Canadian talent development at the level identified for it in the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' (CAB) "Distribution Guidelines For Canadian Talent Development", as set out in Public Notice CRTC 1995-196 or as amended from time to time and approved by the Commission, and to report the names of the third parties associated with Canadian talent development, together with the amounts paid to each, on its annual return. The payments required under this condition of licence are over and above any outstanding commitments to Canadian talent development offered as benefits in an application to acquire ownership or control of the undertaking.
It is a condition of licence that the licensee adhere to the guidelines on gender portrayal set out in the CAB's "Sex-Role Portrayal Code for Television and Radio Programming", as amended from time to time and accepted by the Commission. The application of the foregoing condition of licence will be suspended as long as the licensee remains a member in good standing of the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council.
In Public Notice CRTC 1992-59 dated 1 September 1992 and entitled "Imple-mentation 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 considers that the licensee could increase its efforts in relation to people with disabilities and aboriginal peoples.
The Commission acknowledges the intervention received in support of this licence renewal application.
This decision is to be appended to the licence.
