CJIQ-FM Kitchener/Paris - Licence renewal |
1. |
The Commission renews the broadcasting licence for the instructional campus radio programming undertaking CJIQ-FM Kitchener/Paris from 1 September 2008 to 31 August 2015. The licence will be subject to the conditions specified therein as well as to the conditions set out in the appendix to this decision. |
2. |
The licensee has proposed to increase its third-language programming from 2 hours per week (directed to 2 ethnic groups in 2 different languages) to 8 hours per week (directed to 3 ethnic groups in 3 different languages). This is consistent with the significant role played by campus stations in serving the needs of the minority communities within their service areas. |
3. |
The Commission reminds the licensee that it is required to meet the regulatory minimum with respect to the percentage of musical selections drawn from category 2 (Popular Music) that must be Canadian (35%), as announced in Broadcasting Public Notice 2008-67. |
4. |
The Commission did not receive any interventions with respect to this application. |

Encouragement |
