PREAMBLE |

This Broadcasting
Notice of Public Hearing consists of three separate parts. |
|
It should be noted
that items 1 to 11 and 13 have already been the subject of a Broadcasting
Notice of Public Hearing (CRTC 2005-8,
15 September 2005). However, following the announcement of a transaction
involving the assets of station CKNU-FM Donnacona, between 6087329
Canada inc. and Radio Nord Communications inc. (Radio Nord), the above-mentioned
items were withdrawn from this hearing. |
|
Please also note
that the applications included in item 8 were originally filed by
6087329 Canada Inc. and that these applications are now pursued by Radio
Nord. |
|
Part One : Items
1 to 10 |
|
In the first part,
the Commission list applications (items 1 to 10) to operate radio
undertakings in the Québec market. |
|
As part of these
items, the Commission will consider three applications it considers
competitive for the Québec market. Two of these applications (under item
8) were filed by Radio Nord Communications inc. The first application is
to renew the licence of the French-language commercial radio programming
undertaking CKNU-FM Donnacona, and where Radio Nord is seeking to amend
the condition of licence regarding commercial messages. The second
application is to amend the technical parameters of the station. The
third application (under item 9), by Radio Charlesbourg/Haute St-Charles,
is to amend the technical parameters of French-language Type B community
FM radio station CIMI-FM Québec (zone Charlesbourg). |
|
The Commission
notes that the amendment to the CKNU-FM condition of licence regarding
commercial messages and the proposed technical amendments by radio
stations CKNU-FM and CIMI-FM, could result in these station being
considered as serving the Québec market. |
|
Part two : Items
11 to 13 |
|
The second part of
this Notice consists of the applications for which the Commission will
wish to discuss the measures that the licensees have taken or may wish
to take in response to the concerns raised as part of their licence
renewal. The Commission may also discuss other regulatory measures as it
may consider appropriate. |
|
Part 3 : Items
14 to 44 |
|
The third part of
this Notice includes applications (items 14 to 44) that the Commission
intends to consider, subject to interventions, during the non-appearance
phase of the public hearing. |
|
PART ONE:
The Québec Market |
|
Preamble |
|
On 13 July 2004,
the Commission issued Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2004-49,
calling for applications for broadcasting licences to carry on a French-language
radio programming undertaking to serve Québec, Quebec. Interested
parties had until 11 October 2004 to submit applications to the
Commission. |
|
In Broadcasting Public
Notice CRTC 2004-49-1
of 14 September 2004, the Commission published an amendment to
the call for applications in order to specify that following an Order
from the Federal Court of Appeal, the call for applications would
relate only to radio applications that proposed to use frequencies
other than 98.1 MHz. |
|
On 12 January
2005, the Commission issued a second amendment to its call for applications
to serve Québec, Quebec. In Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2004-49-2,
the Commission pointed out that, it did not usually specify the language
of the service to be proposed in its calls for applications and should
not have done so in this case. Therefore, Broadcasting Public Notice
CRTC 2004-49
was corrected to exclude the reference to the language of the service
to be proposed. Interested parties were given until 28 February
2005 to submit applications to the Commission. Applicants that had
submitted applications in response to the original call CRTC 2004-49,
also had until 28 February 2005 to review and update their application. |
|
Further to this
call for applications, the Commission has received a number of
applications for licences to serve the Québec market. |
|
Please note that
the Commission will consider the interventions already received, accepted
and filed on the public file for items 1 to 10, for Broadcasting Notice
of Public Hearing CRTC 2005-8
as well as any other intervention received in the context of this
proceeding |
|
Items 1, 2 and 3
are technically mutually exclusive as they propose the use of the
frequencies 92.5 MHz (for item 1) and 92.7 MHz (for items 2 and 3). |
|
Items 4 and 5 are
technically mutually exclusive as they both propose the use of the
frequency 105.7 MHz. |
|
Items 6, 7 and 9
are technically mutually exclusive as they propose the use of the
frequency 106.9 MHz. |

|
|
Applications by
Radio Nord Communications inc. (Radio Nord) for the renewal
(application # 2004-0764-4), of the licence of the French-language
commercial radio programming undertaking CKNU-FM Donnacona and
its transmitter CKNU-FM-1 Sainte-Croix-de-Lotbinière, expiring
30 April 2006. |
|
As part of the
licence renewal, Radio Nord is requesting an amendment to its licence by
deleting the condition of licence which states that it must not solicit
advertising from outside the Portneuf area. |
|
In application
2004-1220-6, Radio Nord proposes to change the authorized contours of
CKNU-FM Donnacona by decreasing the effective radiated power from
3,100 watts to 1,585 watts, by increasing the antenna height and by
relocating the transmitter from a site at Saint-Raymond to the summit of
Mont Bélair (non-directional antenna/antenna height of 429 meters). |
|
The Commission
notes that, as a result of the proposed changes to the technical
parameters, the authorized contours would be displaced considerably and
would encompass the city of Québec. Together with deletion of the
condition of licence the station could be considered a station serving
the Québec market, including Donnacona. |

|
|
Application by

|
The licensee
proposes to amend the licence by changing the frequency from 103.7 MHz (channel 279A1)
to 106.9 MHz (channel 295B1). The licensee also proposes to change the
authorized contours by increasing the effective radiated
power from 20 watts to an average effective radiated power of
4,120 watts, by increasing the antenna height and by relocating the
transmitter by approximately 5 km to Mont Reine-Malouin in Charlesbourg
(maximum effective radiated power of 6,550 watts/antenna height of
192.2 metres). |
|
The authorized
contours of the station will be increased significantly resulting from
the proposed increase in power, increase in transmitter height and
relocation of the transmitter. |
|
As a result of the
proposed changes to the technical parameters, the authorized contours
would encompass the city of Québec. The station could be considered a
station serving the Québec market, including Charlesbourg. |

content of certain programs. Such complaints raise concerns and the
Commission may discuss those at the Public Hearing. |
