Decision

Ottawa, 18 November 1997
Decision CRTC 97-642
CFCP Radio Ltd.
Acquisition of assets
1. Following a Public Hearing in the National Capital Region on 22 September 1997, the Commission approves the application by CFCP Radio Ltd. for authority to acquire the assets of the radio programming undertaking CHQB Powell River from Sunshine Coast Broadcasting Co. Ltd. (Sunshine Coast), and for a broadcasting licence to continue the operation of this undertaking.
2. The Commission will issue a licence to CFCP Radio Ltd., expiring 31 August 1999 the current expiry date, upon surrender of the current licence. 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.
3. The Commission notes that this application results from an intra-corporate reorganization whereby Sunshine Coast will be wound up into CFCP Radio Ltd., without any change occurring in the effective control of CHQB.
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 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 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.
6. It is also a condition of licence that the licensee adhere to the provisions of the CAB's Broadcast Code for Advertising to Children, as amended from time to time and accepted by the Commission.
7. An intervention in opposition to this application was submitted by Robert L. Cartmell. The Commission has considered the intervener's views and is satisfied with the applicant's response to the concerns expressed in the intervention.
This decision is to be appended to the licence.
