Public Notice CRTC 2000-105
|
||
|
Ottawa, 17 July 2000 |
||
|
Call for comments on proposed changes to conditions of licence for native radio undertakings whose licences are due to expire 31 August 2000 |
||
|
There are currently 19 Type B, one Type A non-exempt native radio programming undertakings and 3 native radio networks whose licences currently expire on 31 August 2000. The Commission has received renewal applications for these undertakings (see list below) and is seeking comment on proposals to amend conditions of licence for these undertakings in the areas of Canadian content and advertising. |
||
|
In Decision CRTC 2000-271 released today, the Commission renewed, for administrative reasons, the broadcasting licences for the native radio programming undertakings listed below, from 1 September 2000 to 31 August 2001. |
||
|
The Commission has granted this administrative renewal in order to allow time to review the issues on which it wishes to seek comment. |
||
|
Canadian content |
||
|
Following the policy reviews for commercial, community and campus radio stations, these stations are required to devote at least 35% of musical selections from content category 2 (popular music) to Canadian selections. |
||
|
Consistent with these policies, the Commission is considering increasing the minimum Canadian content level for category 2 (popular) musical selections for non-exempt native radio stations. The Commission is proposing to give native radio undertakings renewing their licences amended conditions of licence requiring that a minimum of 35% of the musical selections from content category 2 broadcast during each broadcast week are devoted to Canadian selections. The Commission calls for comments on this proposal. |
||
|
Advertising |
||
|
Consistent with the native broadcasting policy set out in Public Notice CRTC 1990-89, non-exempt native ratio stations are currently subject to a condition of licence limiting the amount of advertising they broadcast to an average of 4 minutes per hour, with a maximum of 6 minutes in any given hour. |
||
|
The Commission seeks comment on these advertising restrictions, including whether these restrictions remain appropriate for native radio licensees. |
||
|
Non station-originated programming |
||
|
Some native radio broadcasters air blocks of programming that originate on another radio station in order to avoid having to sign off at the end of their daily programming. The Commission seeks information from interested parties respecting this practice and the impact, if any, it may have on commercial stations operating in the same market. |
||
|
If there is a negative impact on the other broadcasters in the market, what remedies might be *appropriate? |
||
|
Call for comments |
||
|
The Commission invites written comments that address the issues identified above. The deadline dates for receiving comments are indicated later in this notice. |
||
|
The Commission will not formally acknowledge written comments. It will, however, fully consider all comments and they will form part of the public record of the proceeding, provided that the procedures for filing set out later in this notice have been followed. |
||
|
