CIHT-FM Ottawa/Gatineau – Licence renewal
1. The Commission renews the broadcasting licence for the English-language commercial radio programming undertaking CIHT-FM Ottawa from 1 December 2012 to 31 August 2019.1 The terms and conditions of licence are set out in the appendix to this decision. The Commission did not receive any interventions in connection with this application.
2. In Broadcasting Decision 2009-169, the licence for CIHT-FM was renewed for a short term of four years based on the licensee’s failure to comply with its condition of licence relating to contributions to Canadian talent development (CTD).
3. The Commission finds that the licensee has operated its undertaking in compliance with its conditions of licence and the Radio Regulations, 1986 and that it has addressed the concerns raised by the Commission in Broadcasting Decision 2009-169 regarding CTD contributions.
4. Because this licensee is subject to the Employment Equity Act and files reports concerning employment equity with the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development, its employment equity practices are not examined by the Commission.
