17.	Belleville, Ontario Application No. 2008-1340-4
	Application by Quinte Broadcasting Company Limited to renew the licence of the English-language commercial radio programming undertaking CJBQ Belleville, expiring 31 August 2009.
	It appears to the Commission that the licensee may have failed to comply with the Radio Regulations, 1986 concerning the broadcast of Canadian content for category 2 music during the broadcast week of March 9 to 15, 2003.
	It further appears to the Commission that the licensee may have failed to comply with its condition of licence regarding its contributions to Canadian talent development for the 2006 broadcast year.
	The Commission intends to inquire into these matters at the hearing. The Commission expects the licensee to show cause at this hearing why mandatory orders should not be issued requiring the licensee to comply with the Radio Regulations, 1986 relating to the broadcast of Canadian content for category 2 music during the broadcast week and with its condition of licence relating to Canadian talent development contributions.
	The Commission notes that, in Decision CRTC 2005-331 the station was issued a four-year short term renewal based on its failure to comply with the Radio Regulations, 1986 relating to the broadcast of Canadian content for category 2 music.

	Examination of application: At the licensee's address
18.	St. Catharines, Ontario Reference No. 2008-1495-6
	Please note that the information pertaining to the matters referred to below is only available in hard copy in the public examination file at the CRTC addresses listed in this Notice. However, submissions received from interested parties will be posted on the Commission's Web site.
	The Commission has received complaints regarding Pellpropco Inc. licensee of the English-language commercial radio programming undertaking CHSC St. Catharines, concerning allegations that CHSC has re-oriented a significant portion of its programming to serve the Italian community of Toronto.
	Further, over the course of the current licence term as set out in CHSC St. Catharines - Licence renewal, Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2003-388, performance evaluations undertaken by the Commission have revealed numerous instances of apparent non-compliance with the Radio Regulations, 1986 (the Regulations).
	In this regard, the Commission notes that on 28 July 2006, an application by the licensee was gazetted by Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2006-96 seeking authority to increase the level of third-language programming broadcast on CHSC to 40% of its broadcast week. In its response to interventions the licensee admitted that during the broadcast week of 13 August 2006, CHSC had exceeded the maximum weekly 15% third-language programming level stipulated in section 7.3 of the Regulations and as such was in violation of the Regulations.
	In addition, a verification of the licensee's financial status by Commission staff revealed that CHSC's annual return for the fiscal year 2004-2005 had not been filed. The failure to file this annual return on a timely basis constitutes an apparent violation of subsection 9(2) of the Regulations, as communicated to the licensee by way of Commission staff letter dated 27 March 2006.
	Subsequent to the 27 March 2006 letter, the licensee filed annual returns for CHSC for the fiscal years 2004-2005, 2005-2006 and 2006-2007. However, the licensee failed to file complete financial statements for each return for each 12 month period ending 31 August as required in Circular 404 and pursuant to subsection 9(2) of the Regulations. Although contacted on numerous occasions the licensee has yet to file the missing financial statements. Further, the licensee has failed to file complete annual Canadian talent development expenditure reports with each year's annual return as required. These failures constitute an apparent non-compliance with subsection 9(2) of the Regulations for the fiscal years 2004-2005, 2005-2006 and 2006-2007.
	In a letter dated 15 January 2007, Commission staff requested the licensee to submit logger tapes and other material related to the programming broadcast by CHSC for the week of 7 to 13 January 2007. The licensee was unable to submit this material for the week requested. Failure to submit this requested material constitutes an apparent violation of subsections 8(5) and 8(6) of the Regulations, as communicated to the licensee by way of Commission staff letter dated 14 February 2007.
	In order to conduct a second programming evaluation of CHSC, the Commission staff, in a letter dated 30 January 2008, requested the licensee to submit, logger tapes and other material related to the programming broadcast by CHSC for the week of 20 to 26 January 2008. The Commission staff informed the licensee by letter dated 25 March 2008, that the submitted music lists were incomplete making it impossible to conduct CHSC's programming evaluation. In a second letter dated 16 May 2008, Commission staff asked the licensee to submit its revised music lists. The licensee complied by the 13 June 2008 deadline.
	In a letter dated 29 August 2008, Commission staff advised the licensee that CHSC's programming evaluation revealed three instances where by the licensee may have failed to comply the Regulations:
	1. Non-compliance with subsection 2.2(8) of the Regulations - the programming evaluation estimated that CHSC broadcast 28.9% Canadian content in Category 2 music over the broadcast week rather than the weekly regulatory minimum of 35%.
	2. Non-compliance with subsection 7(3) of the Regulations - the programming evaluation estimated that CHSC devoted 15.9% (20 hours) of the broadcast week to third-language programming, exceeding the regulatory maximum of 15%.
	3. Non-compliance with subsection 8(4) of the Regulations - the licensee failed to provide complete program logs as required under the Regulations.
	In response to the complaints alleging that the licensee has re-oriented CHSC's local programming to serve the Italian community of Toronto, an investigation by Commission staff revealed that a significant portion of CHSC's weekday and weekend programming does appear to be directed to Toronto's Italian community. This programming consists of both third-language Italian spoken word programming and large programming blocks of Italian music programming accompanied by English-language spoken word.
	The licensee confirmed, in writing, that it has engaged a third party to provide it with Italian third-language programming and the Italian music programming. This programming originates from studios located in Woodbridge, Ontario, some 80 kilometers from St. Catharines.
	In response to the local programming orientation complaints the licensee confirmed in letters dated 15 July 2008 and 19 July 2008 that:
	1. CHSC no longer operated out of its original St. Catharines office and studio facilities.
	2. CHSC would be operating out of new studio and office facilities located at its current transmitter site by the end of July 2008.
	3. The licensee would contact the Commission once CHSC's new St. Catharines based facilities were operational.
	To date, the licensee has not confirmed with the Commission that CHSC's new St. Catharines based studio and office facilities are operational.
	The Commission notes that CHSC is licensed to serve listeners in St. Catharines and the immediate surrounding area. In this context, the Commission may wish to discuss certain local programming issues with the licensee including the extent to which CHSC's current local programming content and programming orientation is of direct and particular relevance to St. Catharines and surrounding area, the community CHSC is licensed to serve.
	In addition the Commission has received inquiries pertaining to ownership and control issues related to Pellpropco Inc. In view of these inquiries, the Commission may wish to clarify with the licensee current ownership arrangements.
	The Commission intends to inquire into, hear and determine these matters. Therefore, pursuant to section 12 of the Broadcasting Act, the Commission calls Pellpropco Inc. to this public hearing, to show cause why a mandatory order requiring the licensee to conform to the Radio Regulations, 1986 concerning Canadian content, the broadcasting of third-language programming, the filing of complete annual returns, and the provision of logger tapes, program logs and music lists should not be issued.
	Further, pursuant to section 9(c) of the Broadcasting Act, the Commission will discuss with the licensee the possible imposition of conditions of licence related to the nature of the local programming broadcast on CHSC including the relevance and orientation of local programming to serve the particular needs and interests of the residents of St. Catharines and the surrounding area.
	In addition the Commission will clarify certain current ownership issues.
	Information related to these matters may be found in hard copy in the public examination file of this licensee, including copies of the complaints, undertaken evaluations as well as related correspondences.
	The Commission notes that additional documents may be added to the public file subsequent to the issuance of this Notice of Public Hearing. Interested parties are accordingly advised to consult the public file for this item on an ongoing basis.
