Re: CRTC Broadcasting Decision 2014-633
Dear Mr Poulton,
The Commission is in receipt of your letter dated 15 December 2014 in which Vista Radio Ltd. confirms that it will resume, by 18 December 2014, the broadcasting of local programming on CFLZ-FM. Further, the Commission notes the details you have provided with respect to the number of hours of local programming that will be broadcast, the manner in which the local programming that is to be broadcast will meet the particular needs and interests of the Fort Erie population, and how CFLZ-FM will comply with:
- condition of licence 8 set out in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2009-62, which requires that CFLZ-FM refrain from soliciting or accepting local advertising for broadcast during any broadcast week when less than one-third of the programming aired is local; and
- condition of licence 14 set out in Broadcasting Decision 2012-577, which requires CFLZ-FM to broadcast, at a minimum, three hours of news programming during each broadcast week. Of this amount, a minimum of 30% (54 minutes) each week must be devoted to local news of direct and particular relevance to Fort Erie and the Niagara region.
The submission of your letter by 18 December 2014 meets the requirement as set out in Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2014-633.
A copy of this letter and your letter dated 15 December 2014 will be added to CFLZ-FM’s station file.
Sincerely,
John Traversy
Secretary General
