Decision CRTC 2001-461 |
|
|
Ottawa, 7 August 2001 |
|
|
Radio Acadie Ltée |
|
|
Application processed by Public Notice CRTC 2001-45 dated 20 April 2001 |
|
Licence renewal for CJVA |
|
|
1. |
The Commission renews the broadcasting licence CJVA Caraquet, from 1 September 2001 to 31 August 2005, subject to the conditions specified in the licence to be issued, as also set out in Public Notice CRTC 1999-137. |
|
2. |
This four-year term will enable the Commission to assess, at an earlier date, the licensee's compliance with the Radio Regulations, 1986 (the regulations) relating to the provision of logger tapes and the broadcast of French-language vocal music. |
|
3. |
CJVA rebroadcasts, in its entirety, all but approximately 4 hours a week of CKLE-FM Bathurst/Caraquet's programming. |
|
Compliance concerns |
|
|
4. |
Section 8 of the Regulations requires licensees to keep for a period of at least four weeks from the date of broadcast, "a clear and intelligible tape recording" of the programming broadcast, and to provide it to the Commission upon request. These tapes are essential since the Commission uses them as its primary means to confirm that a station is operating in compliance with the Regulations and its programming commitments. Tapes are also used to assess complaints from listeners, if need be. During the current licence term, the licensee was unable to provide complete logger tapes for the week of 25 April to 1 May 1999. |
|
5. |
The Regulations also require that, in any broadcast week, CJVA devote 65% or more of its vocal selections from content category 2 to French-language musical selections broadcast in their entirety. The Commission's analysis of the programming broadcast by CJVA during the week in question revealed that the licensee had not complied with this requirement during that time period. |
|
6. |
The Commission reiterates that the licensee must take the necessary measures to ensure that it is in compliance at all times with its conditions of licence and with the Regulations. |
|
Other matters |
|
|
7. |
The Commission encourages the licensee to consider employment equity issues in its hiring practices and in all other aspects of its management of human resources (Public Notice CRTC 1992-59). |
