Decision

Ottawa, 16 October 1997
Decision CRTC 97-585
Seacoast Communications Group Incorporated
Licence renewal for CKOV
1. Following Public Notice CRTC 1997-65 dated 26 May 1997 and Decision CRTC 97-485 dated 22 August 1997, the Commission renews the broadcasting licence for the radio programming undertaking CKOV Kelowna, from 1 January 1998 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. Consistent with Decision CRTC 94-574 dated 11 August 1994, it is a condition of licence that in those periods of category 2 music consisting exclusively of music composed before 1956, the Canadian content level is not less than 2% on a weekly basis; and in those periods of category 2 music consisting of 90% or more, but not exclusively, of music composed before 1956, the Canadian content level shall be not less than 10% on a weekly basis.
3. In this regard, the Commission notes that it will be the licensee's responsibility to ascertain the date of composition of the selections it broadcasts and that it must also identify the periods of pre-1956 station-originated programming whenever requested by the Commission to submit information concerning the station's broadcasting of Canadian music.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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. In this regard, the Commission 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.
