CKBF-FM Suffield – Licence renewal

1. The Commission renews the broadcasting licence for the non-commercial radio programming undertaking CKBF-FM Suffield, Alberta, from 1 January 2014^[1] to 31 august 2020. The terms and conditions of licence are set out in the appendix to this decision. The licence will be issued to the Base Commander of Canadian Forces Base in Suffield, authorizing Lieutenant-Colonel Douglas Clagget in his capacity as Base Commander and any other person who subsequently occupies that position^[2] to operate the undertaking. The Commission did not receive any interventions regarding this application.

2. The licensee provides a non-commercial FM radio service exclusively for the benefit of British Armed Forces personnel and their dependents stationed at Canadian Forces Base Suffield. The station offers a contemporary hit radio music format and broadcasts at least 50 hours of locally produced programming each week. The remaining programming is provided by Services Sound and Vision Corporation, a British-based service that offers a mixture of its own programming and that of the British Broadcasting Corporation.

Reminders

3. The Commission reminds the licensee that the authority granted in Decision 2000-135 and the licence issued pursuant to that decision shall be void and of no effect if the programming service broadcast by the licensee is distributed by any broadcasting distribution undertaking.

4. The Commission also reminds the licensee that it is required to meet its commitments to broadcast:

• at least two Canadian songs during each hour of locally produced programming that includes musical selections;
• at least 25% Canadian musical selections during locally produced programming aired over the broadcast week; and
• a weekly “Top 40” Canadian program featuring Canadian artists and having a Canadian content level higher than 25%.

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