Application No. 2008-0749-8 |
| |
Application by Teletoon Canada Inc. to amend the licence of the national specialty programming undertaking known as Teletoon. |
| |
The licensee proposes to replace the condition of licence relating to reporting of Canadian programming expenditures which reads: |
| |
3(b) In the broadcast year beginning 1 September 2004 and in each subsequent broadcast year of the licence term, the licensee shall expend on the acquisition of and/or investment in Canadian programs a minimum of 47% of the gross revenues derived from the operation of this service during the previous broadcast year.

| |
3(b) In the broadcast year beginning 1 September 2004 and in each subsequent broadcast year of the licence term, the licensee shall expend on the acquisition of and/or investment in Canadian programs, on a cash basis, a minimum of 47% of the gross revenues derived from the operation of this service during the previous broadcast year.
|
| |
The change would allow Teletoon to adjust to the payment terms now in place in animation production. This would be consistent and aligned with the practices of its shareholder, Corus, which employs that methodology for other specialty services. |
| |
The licensee states that there would be no negative impact on Canadian programming expenditures. |

Application No. 2008-0961-8 |
| |
Application by 101056012 Saskatchewan Ltd. to amend the licence of the English-language specialty radio station CJJC-FM Yorkton. |
| |
The licensee proposes to amend the licence by changing the frequency from 100.5 MHz (channel 263LP) to 98.5 MHz (channel 253B). The licensee also proposes to change the authorized contours by increasing the average effective radiated power from 44.79 to 50,000 watts (non-directional antenna/antenna height increased from 29.9 to 118 metres). |
| |
The increase in power would result in a change of CJJC-FM's status from a low-power unprotected service to a Class B FM station. |
| |
The licensee is seeking the power increase to ensure the station's long-term financial viability through an expansion of its potential listener and advertiser reach. |

The licensee proposes to move the transmitter from its current location to a new site, owned by the licensee, approximately eight kilometres south-east. |

CTV advised the Commission that the existing AM transmitter CFUN Vancouver is deteriorated to the point that the station is unable to prove its antenna pattern. |
| |
The Commission notes that changing the transmitter site of the radio station will result in a decrease in the coverage area and consequently, in a decrease in reached population of approximately 574,000 people. |
