The payments required under this condition of licence are over and above any outstanding commitments to Canadian talent development offered as benefits in an application to acquire ownership or control of the undertaking.

 

- The licensee shall, as an exception to the percentage of Canadian musical selections set out in sections 2.2(8) and 2.2(9) of the Radio Regulations, 1986, in any broadcast week where at least 90% of musical selections from content category 2 that it broadcasts are selections released before 1 January 1981:

- For purposes of this condition the terms "broadcast week", "content category" and "musical selection" shall have the meaning set out in section 1 of the Radio Regulations, 1986.

 

- That the licensee adhere to the guidelines on gender portrayal set out in the CAB's Sex-Role Portrayal Code for Television and Radio Programming, as amended from time to time and accepted by the Commission. The application of the foregoing condition of licence will be suspended as long as the licensee remains a member in good standing of the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council.

 

CJRN would assume the following conditions of licence in effect under the current licence of CFLZ-FM (Related CRTC decision: 98-534):

 

- use this station solely to broadcast pre-recorded tourist information for the purpose of informing visitors to Niagara Falls; and

 

- broadcast no advertising material.

 

The applicant states that current operating parameters of the two stations will remain unchanged.
