Licence renewal for ethnic radio station CIRV-FM

The Commission renews the broadcasting licence for CIRV-FM Toronto from 1 March 2001 to 31 August 2007, subject to the conditions specified in this decision and in the licence to be issued, as also set out in Public Notice CRTC 1999-137.

It is a condition of licence that the licensee provide programming directed to a minimum of 9 cultural groups in a minimum of 9 different languages.

The Commission is satisfied with the initiatives proposed by the licensee to reflect local issues and concerns over the new licence term.
