Dear Mr Lewis

Re: 2013-0899-0, 2013-0885-9, 2013-0896-6

This letter represents a response to your requests to designate certain information, filed as part of applications 2013-0899-0, 2013-0885-9 and 2013-0896-6, as confidential. Commission staff has considered your requests and grants confidentiality for the following documents:

• Documents containing the three year financial projections for CKYE-FM (both if approved or denied for a rebroadcasting transmitter in Surrey).

However, while Commission staff considers that the applicant has presented a compelling argument with respect to an alternative format for the representation of the data contained in its three year financial projections, it considers that financial projections on an incremental basis rather than in percentage changes (as provided in the proposed format submitted in confidence) would be more appropriate. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 34(1) of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure (the Rules), the Commission requires disclosure of the following information that you designated as confidential with respect to the above-noted applications:

• Documents containing the abridged three year financial projections for CKYE-FM (both if approved or denied for a rebroadcasting transmitter in Surrey).

As indicated above, the document should contain an abridged version of your three year financial projections that includes incremental financial projections (both if approved and if denied).

Please note that the information requested herein should be received at the Commission by no later than 1 November 2013.

The Commission requires that you submit your documents electronically using the secured service “My CRTC Account” (Partner Log In or GCKey) and fill in the “Broadcasting and Telecom Cover page” located on this web page. On this web page, you will also find a link to information on the submission of applications to the Commission “Submitting applications and other documents to the CRTC using My CRTC Account.”

A copy of this letter and all related correspondence will be added to the public record of the proceeding.

Yours sincerely,

André Joly
Senior Radio Analyst
