Addendum
|
| • |
In light of the
Commission's decision to renew, at the same time, the licenses for all
conventional stations owned or controlled by the same person or entity, announced
in Public Notice CRTC 1999-97, the Commission has created this Addendum (CRTC
100/Addendum (2004-04-30)) form for multi-station groups. The multi-station
group addendum is designed to complement the individual station licence renewal
questionnaire (CRTC 100(2004-04-30)) and simplify the application process by
allowing multi-station groups to provide a single group response where there is
common or aggregate information (for example, ownership or financial data) and/or
a common approach for multiple stations (for example, group strategies or
programming approaches). |
| • |
All licensees are
required to file an Application Brief CRTC 100 (2004-04-30) relating to the
individual stations. |
| • |
For multi-station
groups, only one copy of the Addendum (CRTC 100/Addendum (2004-04-30) must be
filed together with all of the individual Application Briefs. |
| • |
Where a group response
applies to most, but not all stations, the group response in the Addendum should
list the stations to which the group response does not apply. In such
cases, the individual station response should appear in the individual station
Application Brief. |
| • |
If the licensee wishes
to enhance or clarify the application, such information should be filed as a
Supplementary Brief identified as APPENDIX 1A-ADD in the Book of
Supporting Documents. |
