Appendix to Decision CRTC 2001- 741

 

Terms of the licence for the FM English-language radio programming undertaking at Regina

 

The Commission will only issue the licence, and it will only be effective at such time as:

 

. the licensee confirms in writing that it is ready to begin operation. This must take place within 12 months of today's date. Any request for an extension to that deadline requires Commission approval and must be made in writing within that period.

 

. the Department of Industry, having advised that the application is conditionally technically acceptable, has determined that there is no unacceptable interference with NAV/COM services and indicated that it will issue a broadcasting certificate (section 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act).

 

The licence, when issued, will expire 31 August 2008.

 

The station will broadcast on the FM band, on the frequency 94.5 MHz, channel 233C, with an effective radiated power of 100,000 watts.

 

The Commission notes that this licensee is subject to the Employment Equity Act and therefore files reports concerning employment equity with Human Resources Development Canada.

 

Condition of licence

 

The licence will be subject to the conditions for FM stations set out in Public Notice CRTC 1999-137.
