Decision CRTC 97-345
|
|
Standard Radio Inc.
|
|
Edmonton, Alberta - 951835800
|
|
Licence renewal for CFRN
|
|
1. Following Public Notice CRTC 1996-144 dated 4 November 1996 and Decision CRTC 96-800 dated 20 December 1996, the Commission renews the broadcasting licence for the radio programming undertaking CFRN Edmonton, from 1 September 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.
|
|
2. The licence term granted herein, while less than the maximum of seven years permitted by the Broadcasting Act (the Act), will enable the Commission to consider the next licence renewal of this undertaking in accordance with the Commission's regional plan and to better distribute the workload within the Commission. This term is not reflective of any Commission concern regarding the licensee's performance.
|
|
3. 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.
|
|
4. The Commission notes that in this renewal application, the licensee has undertaken to "ensure that the Canadian talent development benefits approved in Decision CRTC 92-396 will be fullfilled by the end of 1997". Accordingly, the Commission expects the licensee to adhere to its commitments.
|
|
5. In this regard, the licensee is expected to file a benefit report upon completion of the five-year benefits term, outlining all budgetary expenditures associated with the acquisition of the station.
|
|
6. The Commission notes that this licensee is subject to the Employment Equity Act that came into effect on 24 October 1996 (1996 EEA), and therefore files reports concerning employment equity with Human Resources Development Canada. As a result of a consequential amendment to the the Act, the Commission no longer has the authority to apply its employment equity policy to any undertaking that is subject to the 1996 EEA.

This decision is to be appended to the licence.
