Decision

Ottawa, 6 February 1997
Decision CRTC 97-46
Radiomutuel inc.
Chicoutimi, Quebec - 199611124
Acquisition of assets
Following a Public Hearing in Montréal beginning on 2 December 1996, the Commission approves the application for authority to acquire the assets of CJAB-FM Chicoutimi from CJAB-FM inc., and for a broadcasting licence to continue the operation of this undertaking.
Upon surrender of the current licence, the Commission will issue a licence to Radiomutuel inc., expiring 31 August 2003. The licence will be subject to the same conditions as those in effect under the current licence, as well as to any other condition specified in this decision and in the licence to be issued.
The Commission notes that this transaction represents an intra-corporate reorganization resulting from the amalgamation of this undertaking within the Radiomutuel inc. group.
It is a condition of licence that the licensee adhere to the guidelines on gender portrayal set out in the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' (CAB) "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.
It is a further condition of licence that this station not be operated within the Specialty format as defined in Public Notice CRTC 1995-60, or as amended from time to time by the Commission.
In Public Notice CRTC 1992-59, the Commission announced implementation of its employment equity policy. It advised licensees that, at the time of licence renewal or upon considering applications for authority to transfer ownership or control, it would review with applicants their practices and plans to ensure equitable employment. In keeping with the Commission's policy, it encourages the licensee to consider employment equity issues in its hiring practices and in all other aspects of its management of human resources.
This decision is to be appended to the licence.
Allan J. Darling
Secretary General
