PREAMBLE |
|
PART A |
|
At the 7 June 2004 public hearing, the
Commission will examine applications to renew the licences of the commercial
radio programming undertakings listed as items 1 to 9 in this Notice of
Public Hearing. |
|
Each of these applications gives rise to issues
related to certain business arrangements entered into or being contemplated
between broadcasters in certain markets across Canada. The business
arrangements include the continuance of Local Management Agreements (LMAs),
Local Sales Agreements (LSAs) or any other proposed business arrangement
affecting two or more stations in a market. |
|
Taking into account the objective of fostering
diversity of programming, independence of news voices in each of these
markets, the Commission will examine the following: |
|
i) The appropriateness of the proposed Sales Agreement in Charlottetown,
as a result of the termination of the existing LMA;
|
|
ii) The appropriateness of the LSA in Sudbury;
|
|
iii) The rationale for continuance of the LMA in Thunder Bay;
|
|
iv) Appropriateness of the mutual arrangement in Halifax.
|
|
The Commission may wish to investigate the
possibility of requiring that specific mechanisms or safeguards be put in
place to ensure that licensees continue to meet their regulatory obligations
to the Commission at all times. |
|
The Commission may also choose to investigate
the possibility of imposing conditions of licence in accordance with Section
11.1 of the Radio Regulations, 1986 for the purpose of permitting
licensees to operate under certain business arrangements. |
|
All of the agreements relating to these
arrangements have been placed on the public files relating to these
applications. |
|
The Commission invites interested parties to
comment on any issue. |

Fort Erie and St. Catharines, Ontario
Application No.
2002-0456-1 |
|
Application by CJRN 710 INC. to renew the
licence of the commercial radio programming undertaking CKEY-FM Fort Erie and
its transmitter CKEY-FM-1 St. Catharines expiring 31 August 2004. |
|
The Commission originally announced this
application in Streamlined renewals for radio programming and radio
network undertaking licences due to expire in 2003, Broadcasting
Public Notice CRTC 2002-68 (PN
2002-68), dated 5 November
2002. All applications listed in Public Notice CRTC
2002-68 were received and
processed pursuant to the revised procedures announced in Broadcasting
Circular CRTC 2002-448 (the
Circular) entitled The CRTC Streamlines Radio Renewals Process. |
|
The Commission received an intervention in
response to the renewal application by CJRN 710 Inc. alleging that the
applicant’s programming originates from a studio located in Buffalo, New
York. As a result of this intervention, and in accordance with the procedures
described in the Circular, the Commission withdrew the application from PN
2002-68 and requested
additional information from the licensee. |
|
The Commission subsequently republished for
public comment the application to renew the licence for CKEY-FM Fort Erie and
its transmitter CKEY-FM-1 St. Catharines in Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2003-22. |
|
In response, the Commission received additional
interventions from two parties alleging an American orientation in the
programming of the station and a dependent relationship with an American
broadcaster for its programming. |
|
The Commission therefore requested, and received
from the licensee, additional documentation about the licensee’s relationship
with an American broadcaster. The Commission has also completed an analysis
of the logger tapes and other materials supplied by CKEY-FM pertaining to the
week of 16-22 November 2003. |
|
As a result of this analysis, the Commission
intends to discuss with the licensee at the public hearing its compliance
with condition of licence number 9, which requires the applicant to "refrain
from soliciting or accepting local advertising for broadcast during any
broadcast week when less than one-third of the programming aired is local". |
|
The definition of local programming states, in
part: In their local programming, licensees must include spoken word
material of direct and particular relevance to the community served, such as
local news, weather and sports, and the promotion of local events and
activities. |
|
The Commission will wish to discuss with the
licensee its compliance with subsections 8(1) and 8(4) of the Radio
Regulations, 1986 concerning program logs, paragraph 9(3)(b) regarding a
music list, and subsections 2.2(8) and 2.2(9) concerning the broadcasting of
Canadian musical selections, during the broadcast week between 6 a.m. and 6
p.m. Monday to Friday. |
|
The Commission will also wish to discuss with
the licensee whether, at any time during the period of the current licence,
the undertaking or its programming was not under control of the licensee. |
|
Please note that the Commission will consider
the interventions already received, accepted and filed on the public file for
Broadcasting Public Notices CRTC
2002-68 and 2003-22,
respectively, as well as any other intervention received in the context of
this proceeding. |

will result in a better quality signal to listeners located in Barrie who are
currently experiencing poor reception of CKMB-FM. |
