|
Ownership applications granted approval
|
|
In this notice, the Commission publishes a list of transfers of ownership and changes to the effective control of broadcasting undertakings that it has authorized during the period 1 March 2005 to 30 April 2005 pursuant to its streamlined procedure, and the details regarding these transactions.
|
1.
|
The Commission has a streamlined procedure for its consideration of applications involving transfers of ownership and changes in the effective control of broadcasting undertakings. Under this procedure, and on a case-by-case basis, the Commission may approve such an ownership application without first having issued a public notice provided that:
|
|
a) its examination of the application reveals the presence of no significant policy concern; and
|
|
b) the Commission is convinced that approval would be consistent with its approvals of previous applications.
|
2.
|
Where these two conditions are met, the Commission is generally satisfied that a process initiated by a public notice is not required in the public interest, and would unnecessarily delay implementation of the transaction contemplated by the applicant.
|
3.
