	PART A
	At the 7 June 2004 public hearing, the Commission will examine applications to renew the licences of the commercial radio programming undertakings listed as items 1 to 9 in this Notice of Public Hearing.
	Each of these applications gives rise to issues related to certain business arrangements entered into or being contemplated between broadcasters in certain markets across Canada. The business arrangements include the continuance of Local Management Agreements (LMAs), Local Sales Agreements (LSAs) or any other proposed business arrangement affecting two or more stations in a market.
	Taking into account the objective of fostering diversity of programming, independence of news voices in each of these markets, the Commission will examine the following:
	i) The appropriateness of the proposed Sales Agreement in Charlottetown, as a result of the termination of the existing LMA;
	ii) The appropriateness of the LSA in Sudbury;
	iii) The rationale for continuance of the LMA in Thunder Bay;
	iv) Appropriateness of the mutual arrangement in Halifax.
	The Commission may wish to investigate the possibility of requiring that specific mechanisms or safeguards be put in place to ensure that licensees continue to meet their regulatory obligations to the Commission at all times.
	The Commission may also choose to investigate the possibility of imposing conditions of licence in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Radio Regulations, 1986 for the purpose of permitting licensees to operate under certain business arrangements.
	All of the agreements relating to these arrangements have been placed on the public files relating to these applications.
	The Commission invites interested parties to comment on any issue.

	Application by CJRN 710 INC. to renew the licence of the commercial radio programming undertaking CKEY-FM Fort Erie and its transmitter CKEY-FM-1 St. Catharines expiring 31 August 2004.
	The Commission originally announced this application in Streamlined renewals for radio programming and radio network undertaking licences due to expire in 2003, Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2002-68 (PN 2002-68), dated 5 November 2002. All applications listed in Public Notice CRTC 2002-68 were received and processed pursuant to the revised procedures announced in Broadcasting Circular CRTC 2002-448 (the Circular) entitled The CRTC Streamlines Radio Renewals Process.
	The Commission received an intervention in response to the renewal application by CJRN 710 Inc. alleging that the applicant's programming originates from a studio located in Buffalo, New York. As a result of this intervention, and in accordance with the procedures described in the Circular, the Commission withdrew the application from PN 2002-68 and requested additional information from the licensee.
	The Commission subsequently republished for public comment the application to renew the licence for CKEY-FM Fort Erie and its transmitter CKEY-FM-1 St. Catharines in Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2003-22.
	In response, the Commission received additional interventions from two parties alleging an American orientation in the programming of the station and a dependent relationship with an American broadcaster for its programming.
	The Commission therefore requested, and received from the licensee, additional documentation about the licensee's relationship with an American broadcaster. The Commission has also completed an analysis of the logger tapes and other materials supplied by CKEY-FM pertaining to the week of 16-22 November 2003.
	As a result of this analysis, the Commission intends to discuss with the licensee at the public hearing its compliance with condition of licence number 9, which requires the applicant to "refrain from soliciting or accepting local advertising for broadcast during any broadcast week when less than one-third of the programming aired is local".
	The definition of local programming states, in part: In their local programming, licensees must include spoken word material of direct and particular relevance to the community served, such as local news, weather and sports, and the promotion of local events and activities.
	The Commission will wish to discuss with the licensee its compliance with subsections 8(1) and 8(4) of the Radio Regulations, 1986 concerning program logs, paragraph 9(3)(b) regarding a music list, and subsections 2.2(8) and 2.2(9) concerning the broadcasting of Canadian musical selections, during the broadcast week between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday to Friday.
	The Commission will also wish to discuss with the licensee whether, at any time during the period of the current licence, the undertaking or its programming was not under control of the licensee.
	Please note that the Commission will consider the interventions already received, accepted and filed on the public file for Broadcasting Public Notices CRTC 2002-68 and 2003-22, respectively, as well as any other intervention received in the context of this proceeding.
