|
|
|
Part 1 : Items 1 to 12
|
|
|
In the first part, the Commission has listed licence applications (items 1 to 12) to operate radio undertakings in the Québec market.
|
|
|
As part of these items, the Commission will consider three applications it considers competitive for the Québec market. They include applications by 6087329 Canada inc. (Patrice Demers) to renew the licence of commercial radio programming undertaking CKNU-FM Donnacona and amend a condition of licence regarding commercial messages, and to amend the technical parameters of CKNU-FM Donnacona (item 11). The third application, by Radio Charlesbourg/Haute St-Charles
(item 12), is to amend the technical parameters of French-language Type B community FM radio station CIMI-FM Québec (zone Charlesbourg).
|
|
|
The Commission notes that the amendment to the CKNU-FM condition of licence proposed in the undertaking's renewal application and the proposed technical amendments by radio station CKNU-FM and CIMI-FM, could result in these station being considered stations that serve the Québec market.
|
|
|
Part 2 : Items 13 and 14
|
|
|
In the second part of this notice, the Commission has included the application by 6087329 Canada inc. (Patrice Demers) for a licence to operate a French-language radio network to broadcast public affairs programming, with phone-in shows, hosted by André Arthur (item 13) and the application by Radio CHNC ltée to renew the licence of commercial radio programming undertaking CHNC New Carlisle (item 14).
|
|
|
Part 3 : Items 15 to 22
|
|
|
In part three, the Commission has listed applications concerning the Montréal market. Items 15, 16 and 17 are technically mutually exclusive as they propose the use of the frequencies 106.5 MHz (for item 15) and 106.3 MHz (for items 16 and 17). For Montréal, these will be treated as competitive radio applications.
|
|
|
The Commission intends to consider, subject to interventions, all applications for the Montréal market (items 15 to 22) during the non-appearance phase of the public hearing.
|
|
|
Part 4 : Items 23 to 32
|
|

The fourth part of this Notice includes the other applications (items 23 to 32) that the Commission intends to consider, subject to interventions, during the non-appearance phase of the public hearing.

PART 1 :
The Québec Market
|
|
|
Preamble
|
|
|
On 13 July 2004, the Commission issued Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2004-49, calling for applications for broadcasting licences to carry on a French-language radio programming undertaking to serve Québec, Quebec. Interested parties had until 11 October 2004 to submit applications to the Commission.
|
|
|
On 26 August 2004, the Federal Court of Appeal issued an Order to the Commission to stay the call for applications for a broadcasting licence in Québec, as it relates to applications proposing the use of the frequency 98.1 MHz. The stay is in effect until the Court's final judgment on the merits in the matter of the appeal filed by Genex Communications inc. (Genex) from Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2004-271 of 13 July 2004, denying the application by Genex to renew the licence issued for station CHOI-FM, Québec, Quebec. Consequently, in Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2004-49-1 of 14 September 2004, the Commission published an amendment to the call for applications in order to specify that following an Order from the Federal Court of Appeal, the call for application would relate only to radio applications that proposed to use frequencies other than 98.1 MHz.
|
|
|
On 12 January 2005, the Commission issued a second amendment to its call for applications to serve Québec, Quebec. In Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2004-49-2, the Commission pointed out that, it did not usually specify the language of the service to be proposed in its calls for applications and should not have done so in this case. Therefore, Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2004-49 was being corrected to exclude the reference to the language of the service to be proposed. Interested parties were given until 28 February 2005 to submit applications to the Commission. Applicants that had submitted applications in response to the original call CRTC 2004-49, also had until 28 February 2005 to review and update their application.
|
|
|
Further to this call for applications, the Commission has received a number of applications for licences to serve the Québec market.
|
|
|
Items 1, 2 and 3 are technically mutually exclusive as they propose the use of the frequencies 92.5 MHz (for item 1) and 92.7 MHz (for items 2 and 3).
|
|
|
Items 4 and 5 are technically mutually exclusive as they both propose the use of the frequency 105.7 MHz.
|
|
|
Items 6, 7 and 12 are technically mutually exclusive as they propose the use of the frequency 106.9 MHz.

Donnacona, Quebec
Applications No. 2004-0764-4 and 2004-1220-6
|
|
|
Applications by 6087329 Canada inc. a corporation controlled by Patrice Demers.
|
|
|
In application 2004-0766-4, the licensee requests the renewal of the licence of the French-language commercialradio programming undertaking CKNU-FM Donnacona and its transmitter CKNU-FM-1 Sainte-Croix-de-Lotbinière, expiring 30 April 2006.
|
|
|
The applicant is also requesting the deletion of the condition of licence which states that it must not solicit advertising from outside the Portneuf area. As a result, the station could be considered one that would serve the Québec market.
|
|
|
In its application 2004-1220-6, the licensee proposes to change the authorized contours by decreasing the effective radiated power from 3,100 watts to 1,585 watts, by increasing the antenna height and by relocating the transmitter from a site at Saint-Raymond to the summit of Mont Bélair (non-directional antenna/antenna height of 429 meters).
|
|
|
The Commission notes that, as a result of the proposed changes to the technical parameters, the authorized contours would be displaced considerably and would encompass the city of Québec. The station could be considered a station serving the Québec market, including Donnacona.
|
|
|
The Commission notes that in Broadcasting CRTC Decision 2004-271 in which an application for renewal of licence by CHOI- FM was denied, the Commission considered a broadcast that aired on both CHOI-FM and CKNU-FM and that formed the subject matter of a complaint by the Université Laval. The Commission found that the particular broadcast breached the provisions of section 3(b) of the Radio Regulations, 1986 which prohibits the broadcast of abusive comments.
|
|
|
The Commission further notes that it has received a number of complaints with respect to the verbal content of certain programs broadcast on CKNU-FM, including the one noted above and those related to in Broadcasting Decisions CRTC 2004-316 and 2005-229. The Commission intends to discuss all of these complaints at the public hearing. The discussion will relate to the licensee's spoken word programming, in light of section 3(b) of the Radio Regulations, 1986 and of the objectives set out in section 3(1) of the Broadcasting Act.
|
|
|
The Commission will wish to discuss the measures that the licensee has taken or may wish to take in response to the concerns raised by the complaints, and such regulatory measures as the Commission may consider appropriate, including possible conditions of licence and the issuance of a mandatory order requiring the licensee to comply with the Radio Regulations, 1986.
|
|
|
Additional information may be found in the public examination file of this licensee, including the exchange of correspondence on complaints. Further information on these matters received after today's date may be added to the public file.

|
|
|
Application by Radio Charlesbourg/Haute St-Charles relating to the licence of the Type B French-language FM community radio programming undertaking CIMI-FM Québec (zone Charlesbourg).
|
|
|
The licensee proposes to amend the licence by changing the frequency from 103.7 MHz (channel 279A1) to 106.9 MHz (channel 295B1). The licensee also proposes to change the authorized contours byincreasingthe effective radiated power from 20 watts to an average effective radiated power of 4,120 watts, by increasing the antenna height and by relocating the transmitter by approximately 5 km to Mont Reine-Malouin in Charlesbourg (maximum effective radiated power of 6,550 watts/antenna height of 192.2 metres).
|
|
|
The authorized contours of the station will be increased significantly resulting from the proposed increase in power, increase in transmitter height and relocation of the transmitter.
|
|
|
As a result of the proposed changes to the technical parameters, the authorized contours would encompass the city of Québec. The station could be considered a station serving the Québec market, including Charlesbourg.
|
|
|
The Commission notes that it has received a number of complaints regarding the verbal content of certain programs hosted by André Arthur and broadcast on CIMI-FM radio station. Such complaints raise concerns and the Commission intends to discuss those at the Public Hearing.
