Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2005-291

  Ottawa, 5 July 2005
  Briercrest Community Radio Inc.
Caronport, Saskatchewan
  Application 2004-1561-3
Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2005-40
29 April 2005
 

CJOS-FM Caronport - Licence renewal and amendment

1.

The Commission renews the broadcasting licence for the community-based campus radio programming undertaking CJOS-FM Caronport, from 1 September 2005 to 31 August 2012.

2.

In addition, the Commission approves the licensee's application to amend its licence by replacing the current condition of licence stating that it shall devote, during each broadcast week, at least 25% of its programming to Spoken Word (content category 1), which comprises News (content subcategory 11) and Spoken word - other (content subcategory 12), as defined in Public Notice CRTC 2000-141, as amended from time to time. The licensee requested that this requirement be reduced to 15%.

3.

To support its application, the licensee stated that this amendment is necessary as CJOS-FM operates with an effective radiated power of 5 watts in a small rural village and relies on a small volunteer base and a very modest operating budget.

4.

The Commission did not receive any interventions in connection with this application.

5.

The licence will be subject to the conditions set out in New licence form for campus radio stations, Public Notice CRTC 2000-156, 16 November 2000, with the exception of condition of licence no. 8, as well as to the conditions of licence set out in the appendix to this decision.

6.

The Commission considers that campus radio stations should be particularly sensitive to employment equity issues in order to reflect fully the communities they serve. It encourages the licensee to consider these issues in its hiring practices and in all other aspects of its management of human resources.
