Licence renewal for native radio station CHRQ-FM |
|

1. |
The Commission renews the broadcasting licence for the Type B native radio undertaking CHRQ-FM Restigouche, from 1 September 2001 to 31 August 2008, subject to the conditions specified in this decision and in the licence to be issued. |
|
2. |
The licensee applied to renew its licence under the same terms and conditions as its current licence. |
|

Decision CRTC 92-109 indicated that CHRQ-FM broadcasts 84 hours per week of local programming of which 25 hours are in the Micmac language and 59 hours in English. |
|
4. |
In Public Notice CRTC 2001-70 released today, the Commission introduced changes to conditions of licence for some native radio undertakings. As indicated in the notice, the Commission no longer imposes limits on the advertising broadcast by native radio stations and networks. However, it requires that they broadcast a Canadian content level of at least 35% in popular (category 2) music. Consequently, it is a condition of licence that the licensee devote a minimum of 35% of all Category 2 musical selections broadcast, during each broadcast week, to Canadian selections. |
|
5. |
In Public Notice 2001-70, the Commission further encourages native radio stations, that wish to broadcast wrap-around programming after their daily sign-off, to use programming from another native radio station or network. |
