Licence amendments related to contributions to Canadian talent development
|
|
1. Following Public Notice CRTC 1997-101 dated 25 July 1997, the Commission approves the applications to relieve the licensee from current direct cost commitments for Canadian talent development made as part of the last licence renewal for CJBK and CJBX-FM London, and to amend the licences by adding the following condition of licence, commencing with the 1997-1998 broadcast year:
|
|
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' 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.
|
|
2. The Commission notes that in Public Notice CRTC 1997-101, these applications were announced as having been submitted by Radiocorp Inc., as the authority granted to London Communications Ltd. in Decision CRTC 97-146 concerning the acquisition of the assets of these undertakings had not yet been implemented at the time the public notice was issued.
|
|
3. The Canadian Independent Record Production Association (CIRPA) submitted an intervention stating that the Canadian talent development commitments in question flow from Decision CRTC 93-570 which approved the acquisition of the two stations by Radiocorp Inc. The Commission is satisfied with the licensee's reply thereto and notes, furthermore, that the above condition of licence addresses the intervener's concerns in that it specifies that the payments required are over and above any outstanding commitments offered as benefits as part of an acquisition transaction.
|
|
This decision is to be appended to the licence.
