Licence renewals |
1. |
The Commission renews the broadcasting licences for the Type B Native FM radio programming undertakings listed below from 1 September 2008 to 31 August 2012. These licences will be subject to the conditions specified therein as well as to the conditions set out in the appendix to this decision. |
2. |
In Broadcasting Public Notice 2008-53, the Commission noted that these licensees may have failed to comply with section 9(2) of the Radio Regulations, 1986 (the Regulations) pertaining to the submission of annual returns, for the years mentioned below1. |
3. |
The Commission notes that this is the first time that these licensees have been found to be in non-compliance with the Regulations as they pertain to the filing of annual returns. Specifically, the licensees' annual returns for the broadcast years mentioned below were not filed by the prescribed date of 30 November of each broadcast year. |
4. |
As set out in Circular No. 444, the Commission notes that, when apparent non-compliance is observed for the first time, the station is normally granted a short-term licence renewal, generally for four years, to permit a further review of its compliance within a reasonable period of time. As noted above, this is the first time that these licensees have been found to be in non-compliance with respect to the filing of annual returns. As such, the Commission finds it appropriate to renew the licences for these undertakings for a short-term period of four years, in accordance with Circular No. 444. This short-term renewal will enable the Commission to assess at an earlier date the licensees' compliance with the Regulations. |
5. |
The Commission did not receive any interventions in connection with these applications. |
