With respect to CIBH-FM Parksville, the Commission notes its determination in Broadcasting Decision 2006-263 that the benefit expenditures associated with the transaction approved therein would be made in accordance with the proposed allocations, as set out in the appendix to that decision. Accordingly, the Commission expects the licensee to file a report at the conclusion of the seven-year benefit period detailing the manner in which the tangible benefits have been expended. |
5. |
With respect to CKCK-FM Regina, the Commission notes that as set out in Decision 2001-741, the licensee was required, by condition of licence, to make payments to third-party organizations dedicated to the promotion of Canadian artists in the proportions indicated in the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' guidelines on the funding of Canadian talent development (CTD), as announced in Public Notice 1995-196. The Commission notes that Rawlco Radio Ltd. did not make its CTD contribution in the amount of $3,000 for the broadcast year ending 31 August 2002. Accordingly, in the broadcast year ending 31 August 2009, the licensee shall, by condition of licence, expend a minimum of $3,000 to support the development of Canadian talent in fulfillment of its outstanding commitment to CTD. This amount is in addition to the contributions to Canadian content development required under section 15 of the Radio Regulations, 1986, as amended by Regulations Amending the Radio Regulations, 1986, SOR/2008-177, 28 May 2008, announced in Broadcasting Public Notice 2008-67. |
