Licence renewal for CKDH
|
|
1. Following Public Notice CRTC 1997-38 dated 16 April 1997, the Commission renews the broadcasting licence for the radio programming undertaking CKDH Amherst, from 1 September 1997 to 31 August 2004, 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 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.

|
3. 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.
|
|
4. 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 Broadcasting Act (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.
|
|
5. The Department of Industry has advised the Commission that it is prepared to renew the Broadcasting Certificate for a period of one year only, expiring 31 August 1998. With respect to the operation of this undertaking beyond this period, the Commission draws the licensee's attention to subsection 22(1) of the Act pertaining to the technical certification of broadcasting undertakings and to subsection 22(4) which provides that any broadcasting licence issued, amended or renewed in contravention of section 22 is of no force or effect.

This decision is to be appended to the licence.
