CHSN Estevan - Licence renewal

The Commission renews the broadcasting licence for the English-language, commercial AM radio programming undertaking CHSN Estevan, from 1 September 2007 to 31 August 2014.

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

|
|
4.
|
As part of its application for the renewal of CHSN's licence, Golden West Broadcasting Ltd. (Golden West) proposed to direct its contribution for Canadian content development (CCD) to local initiatives, rather than to FACTOR. The Commission notes that, as of 1 September 2007, the Radio Regulations, 1986 will be amended so as to require the licensees of commercial radio programming undertakings (with the exception of specialty ethnic or spoken word undertakings) to direct a specific portion of their annual CCD contribution to FACTOR.
|
|
5.
|
CHSN will be subject to these new regulations, and the Commission does not consider it is appropriate to grant an exception at this time. However, the Commission notes that Golden West may earmark, through FACTOR, funding for locally based initiatives.
