CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR A BROADCASTING LICENCE TO CARRY ON A RADIO PROGRAMMING UNDERTAKING TO SERVE TORONTO, ONTARIO |
|
| In Public Notice CRTC 2001-39, dated 22 March 2001, the Commission invited persons interested in broadcasting licences for the provision of AM and/or FM radio programming services to the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) to submit their applications by 22 May 2001. | |
| On January 31, 2001, the Commission had issued a report to the Governor in Council concluding that the GTA has a diverse multicultural, multiracial and multilingual population that is rapidly increasing in size, and that there is a strong demand for new radio services to serve the ethnic population in the GTA. However, the report had noted that opportunities for the use of new AM or FM frequencies to provide additional radio services were limited under existing Industry Canada technical rules for spectrum usage. | |
| Accordingly, Industry Canada has been reviewing radio broadcasting capacity in the GTA, and has just advised the Commission that it is in the process of finalizing the results of its analysis. | |
| Since Industry Canada expects to announce the details of its findings in the near future, the Commission hereby suspends the deadline for filing applications until further notice. | |
