Public Notice CRTC 1999-22

|
Applications for Amendments concerning Radio Programming Undertakings
|
|
In Public Notice CRTC 1998-132, Regulations Amending the Radio Regulations, 1986 - Commercial Radio Programming, the Commission addressed the special case of radio stations whose formats are based on the presentation of older music. The Commission indicated that it would generally be disposed to give favourable consideration to applications requesting flexibility to broadcast a lower level of Canadian popular music than the 35% required under sections 2.2(8) and 2.2(9) of the Regulations Amending the Radio Regulations, 1986, SOR/98-597. This lower level would take into account the relatively limited supply of Canadian music appropriate for the formats of these stations.
|
|
Specifically, the Commission indicated, in Public Notice CRTC 1998-132, that it will generally be prepared to approve applications by licensees for conditions of licence permitting them to broadcast a minimum of 30% Canadian popular (category 2) musical selections during any broadcast week where at least 90% of the music they plan consists of selections released before 1 January 1981. Stations would be required to meet this 30% minimum level both over the broadcast week and between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Stations subject to this condition of licence would also be responsible for specifying, on the music lists they provide to the Commission, the year of release for all musical selections they broadcast.

The Commission has received the following applications to amend the broadcasting licence of the following radio programming undertakings by adding a condition of licence incorporating the flexibility outlined above:
