Public Notice CRTC 1999-128

The Commission has received the following applications:

1. ACROSS CANADA

Application (199906872) by CANADIAN SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS INC. (CANCOM) to amend the broadcasting licence for its national satellite relay distribution undertaking.

As a result of a reorganization, two U.S. stations that CANCOM is authorized to distribute have exchanged affiliations. KIRO-TV Seattle, Washington is now a CBS affiliate and KSTW Tacoma/Seattle is an independent station.

CANCOM requests that both its list of authorized signals and the Part 2 and Part 3 Lists of Eligible Satellite Services be amended to reflect these changes. CANCOM also requests that KIRO-TV be moved to section A of the Part 2 list and KSTW to section B.

2. SUDBURY, Ontario

Application (199901947) by ETERNACOM INC. to amend the broadcasting licence of the radio programming undertaking CJTK-FM Sudbury, by increasing the effective radiated power from 35 to 1,400 watts. The transmitter would also be relocated some 3.7 kilometers north-west of the existing site.

The applicant states that these changes will allow it to improve service in Sudbury and surrounding areas.

3. WINDSOR, Ontario

Applications (199902929, 199902937, 199902945) by CHUM LIMITED to amend the broadcasting licence of its radio programming undertakings CKWW, CIMX-FM and CIDR-FM Windsor.

In Public Notice CRTC 1998-132, the Commission announced that the minimum level of Canadian popular music on radio would increase from 30% to 35%, to be met both daily and weekly. It was noted in the Commercial Radio Policy 1998 (Public Notice CRTC 1998-41) that "..some licensees, in exceptional circumstances are currently subject to conditions of licence allowing for lower minimum Canadian content levels than that generally required by way of regulation..." The Commission expects these licensees to continue with their current commitments."

These applications reflect the current level of Canadian content required to be broadcast by each of the stations. The texts of the proposed conditions of licence set out below would bring the licences into conformity with the revised Radio Regulations, 1986.

As an exception to the percentage of Canadian musical selections set out in subsection 2.2(8) of the Radio Regulations, 1986, it is a condition of licence that the licensee shall, in a broadcast week, devote 20% or more of its musical selections from content category 2 to Canadian selections broadcast in their entirety and,

As an exception to the percentage of Canadian musical selections set out in subsection 2.2(9) of the Radio Regulations, 1986, it is a condition of licence that the licensee shall, between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., in any period beginning on Monday of a week and ending on Friday of the same week, devote 20% or more of its musical selections from content category 2 to Canadian selections broadcast in their entirety.

The adoption of the reduced weekly Canadian content level reflects the level currently imposed as a condition of licence for each of the stations.
