Across Canada Application No. 2009-0763-6 |
|
| Application by Aboriginal Peoples Television Network Incorporated (APTN) to amend the broadcasting licence for the television programming undertaking APTN. | ||
| For the upcoming Olympics in February 2010, APTN signed an agreement with the broadcasting consortium led by CTVglobemedia Inc. to air a minimum of 10 hours per day of Olympic coverage. Four hours of the Olympic coverage will be in English, four hours will be in French, and two hours will be in a variety of Aboriginal languages. | ||
| The licensee proposes to obtain some temporary flexibility in meeting its weekly Aboriginal- and French-language programming requirements and also its priority programming and described video requirements as set out in conditions of licence 5, 6, 8 and 10 respectively. This flexibility would allow APTN to provide coverage of the 2010 Olympics during the 17-day period even though it may cause APTN to fall short of its weekly requirements. | ||
| The licensee commits to making up for any shortcomings to the weekly requirements caused by the Olympic coverage by increasing accordingly the amount of the required programming as set out in its conditions of licence throughout the remainder of the broadcast year. | ||
| The conditions of licence that may be affected by the Olympic coverage are as follows: | ||
|
5. The licensee shall broadcast a minimum of 30 hours of programming in Aboriginal languages in each broadcast week, increasing to a minimum of 35 hours of such programming by the end of the licence term. |
||
|
6. The licensee shall broadcast a minimum of 18 hours of French-language programming in each broadcast week, increasing to a minimum of 20 hours of such programming by the end of the licence term. |
||
|
8. The licensee shall broadcast, at a minimum, an average of six hours of Canadian programs in the priority program categories between 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. in each broadcast week during the first year of the licence term, and a minimum of seven hours of such programming in each broadcast week during the second year. The licensee shall broadcast, at a minimum, an average of eight hours of Canadian programs in the priority program categories between 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. in each broadcast week during the third and each successive year of the licence term. |
||
|
10. The licensee shall provide described video to accompany a minimum of one hour of new, first-run English-language drama in each broadcast week during the first and second broadcast years of the licence term. During the third year and for the remainder of the licence term, the licensee shall provide described video programming for all new, first-run English- and French-language drama. |

Toronto, Ontario Application No. 2009-0785-0 |
|
| Application by Canadian Hellenic Toronto Radio Inc. relating to the broadcasting licence for the ethnic AM commercial radio programming undertaking CHTO Toronto. | ||
| The licensee proposes to change the authorized contours of CHTO by increasing the daytime transmitter power from 1,000 watts to 3,000 watts (non-directional antenna). All other technical parameters remain unchanged. | ||
| The licensee stated that the proposed changes will result in better signal quality within its licensed area and more specifically, for its listeners located in Mississauga and Brampton who are currently experiencing poor reception of CHTO. | ||
| The modification will increase the population within the 15mV/m contour from 468,000 to 672,000 people and within the 5mV/m contour from 850,000 to 1,442,000 people. | ||

Calgary, Alberta Application No. 2009-0617-5 |
|
| Application by Newcap Inc. to amend the broadcasting licence for the English-language radio programming undertaking CFUL-FM Calgary. | ||
| The licensee proposes to amend the condition of licence relating to the contribution to the development and promotion of Canadian talent. The applicant stated that due to logistics problems and timing constraints with the ‘‘Making of a Band'' initiative, it was not able to contribute the total amount imposed as condition of licence for the 2008 broadcast year. Therefore, Newcap Inc. requests to allocate the amounts over the remaining licence term otherwise, while maintaining a total financial commitment of seven million dollars over a period of seven consecutive years, as stipulated in Broadcasting Decision 2006-323. | ||
