Broadcasting Public Notice 2008-116
  Ottawa, 8 April 2009
 

Commission's findings following its call for comments on the capacity of the radio markets of Iroquois Falls, and Cochrane, Ontario to support the licencing of new commercial radio stations

1.

In Broadcasting Public Notice 2008-116, the Commission announced that it had received applications for broadcasting licences to provide commercial radio services to Iroquois Falls, and Cochrane, Ontario. The Commission expressed concern that these radio markets may not have the capacity to support the addition of new commercial radio stations at this time and called for comments from all interested parties.

2.

Based on its analysis of the comments received in response to this call as well as its review of the financial performance of incumbent radio stations and the economic situation in light of the recession, the Commission finds that the radio markets of Cochrane, and Iroquois Falls do not have the capacity to support new commercial radio stations at this time. Consistent with Broadcasting Public Notice 2006-159, the Commission will not generally be disposed to accept applications for new commercial radio stations to serve the markets in question for a period of two years from the date of the present decision.
