8. QUEBEC CITY, Quebec

Application (199606737) by LES ENTREPRISES DE RADIODIFFUSION DE LA CAPITALE INC. to renew the broadcasting licence of the (radio) programming undertaking CHOI-FM Quebec City expiring 31 August 1996, under the same terms and conditions as the current licence.

In Decision CRTC 95-119 dated 27 March 1995, the Commission approved the applications of Télémédia Communications inc. (Télémédia) to gain effective control of "Les Entreprises de Radiodiffusion de la Capitale inc.".

In the above decision the Commission noted that Télémédia is also owner of station CITF-FM Québec City. The Commission has had a long-standing policy that two radio undertakings of the same type serving the same market in the same language must not have the same owner.

Accordingly, the Commission required that an application to transfer the ownership or effective control of CHOI-FM to a third party be filed within six months after the date of the decision (27 March 1995). If Télémédia was unable to file such an application within that period, it was required to place CHOI-FM in trust until a decision was issued by the Commission.

On 18 September 1995, Télémédia filed a contract between Price Waterhouse Inc. and Télémédia Communications inc. relating to the administration and management of CHOI-FM. The Commission approved the contract by administrative letter A95-0126 dated 26 September 1995. The Commission added: TRANSLATION "The Commission approves the management contract as filed and , in consequence thereof, the transfer of effective control of ERC to the manager until a purchaser is approved by the Commission".

On 20 February 1996, the Commission requested Price Waterhouse Inc. to submit a report on the procedures and measures taken to date to offer station CHOI-FM for sale. Price Waterhouse Inc. forwarded the letter to Télémédia Communications inc. who then submitted its report dated 6 March 1996.

The Commission calls at the hearing Télémédia Communications inc. to appear in order to discuss the reasons why the Commission should renew the broadcasting licence of the (radio) programming undertaking CHOI-FM Quebec City.
