Various licensees
Various locations across Canada

The application numbers are set out in Appendix 1 to this decision.

Various commercial radio stations – Licence renewals

1. The Commission renews the broadcasting licences for the radio programming undertakings set out in Appendix 1 to this decision from 1 January 2014^[1] to 31 August 2020. The conditions of licence for each station are set out in the appropriate appendices.

2. The Commission received an intervention from the Association québécoise de l’industrie du disque, du spectacle et de la vidéo relating to the application for CKGM Montréal. The Commission also received interventions regarding certain of the applications treated in this decision by the Provinces of Quebec and British Columbia. The interventions related to the participation of the stations in their jurisdictions in the National Public Alerting System (NPAS). The public record for this proceeding can be found on the Commission’s website at www.crtc.gc.ca under “Public Proceedings.”

3. As specified in its three-year plan, the Commission will be looking at measures to ensure the participation of Canadian broadcasters and telecommunications service providers in the NPAS. Therefore, the Commission will not impose conditions of licence requiring the participation of broadcasters in the NPAS at this time. However, the Commission expects all licensees to voluntarily participate in the NPAS so that Canadians receive timely warnings of imminent perils.

Reminders

4. The Commission reminds the licensees that they must fulfill the commitments set out in Broadcasting Decision 2007-165, as amended by Broadcasting Decision 2013-210, relating to the transfer of effective control of CHUM Limited to CTVglobemedia Inc.

5. Further, pursuant to section 22 of the Broadcasting Act, the Commission reminds the licensees that a broadcasting licence will cease to have any force or effect if the broadcasting certificate issued by the Department of Industry lapses.

Employment equity

6. Because these licensees are subject to the Employment Equity Act and file reports concerning employment equity with the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development, their employment equity practices are not examined by the Commission.
