New Tamil-language SCMO service |
|
| 1. |
The Commission approves the application by CJRT-FM Inc. to amend the broadcasting licence for CJRT-FM Toronto, by adding a condition of licence allowing the licensee to use a subsidiary communications multiplex operations (SCMO) channel for the purpose of broadcasting a predominantly Tamil-language radio service. |
| 2. |
This approval authorizes CJRT-FM to provide a second Tamil-language SCMO service. The first service offers programming in Tamil, Telugu, Kannadam, Malayalam and English. |
| 3. |
Programming broadcast using an SCMO channel is not accessible with standard radio equipment. Instead, it requires use of a special receiver. |
| 4. |
The Commission's policy regarding services using the SCMO channel of FM stations is set out in Public Notice CRTC 1989-23. In accordance with that policy, licensees are expected to be fully accountable for the content of SCMO services broadcast by their stations. |
