Telephone City Broadcast Limited

Brantford, Ontario - 950972000
|
|
Licence renewal for CKPC
|
|
1. Following Public Notice CRTC 1996-98 dated 12 July 1996, Decision CRTC 96-585 dated 30 August 1996 and Decision CRTC 96-801 dated 20 December 1996, the Commission renews the broadcasting licence for the radio programming undertaking CKPC Brantford, from 1 September 1997 to 31 August 2000, 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. This term will enable the Commission to assess at an early date the licensee's compliance with the Radio Regulations, 1986 (the regulations).
|
|
3. Subsection 2.2(3) of the regulations requires that a minimum of 30% of all musical selections from content category 2 broadcast weekly be Canadian. The Commission's analysis of programming aired by CKPC during the week of 13 to 19 November 1994, revealed an estimated Canadian content level of 29.1%.
|
|
4. The licensee explained that it had reviewed every selection in its active music categories and agreed with the results of the analysis of the selections that did not qualify as Canadian.
|
|
5. The Commission views with great concern the licensee's failure to comply with this regulatory requirement. It intends to monitor the licensee's performance during the new licence term, and directs the licensee to take all necessary measures to ensure that the regulations are adhered to at all times.
|
|
6. 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.
|
|
7. In Public Notice CRTC 1992-59 dated 1 September 1992 and entitled Implementation of an Employment Equity Policy, the Commission announced that the employment equity practices of broadcasters would be subject to examination by the Commission. The Commission notes that no special measures have been initiated by the licensee in this regard. It will wish to review the steps taken by the licensee in the area of employment equity at the time of the next licence renewal.
|
|
8. The Commission acknowledges the interventions received with respect to this licence renewal application and is satisfied with the licensee's reply thereto.
|
|
This decision is to be appended to the licence.
