Decision CRTC 92-832, which originally licensed CKAU-FM,
indicated that the station broadcasts 109 hours per week of
programming of which 96 hours and 30 minutes are local

In Public Notice CRTC 2001-70
released today, the Commission
introduced changes to conditions of licence for some native radio
undertakings. As indicated in the notice, the Commission no longer
imposes limits on the advertising broadcast by native radio stations
and networks. However, it requires that they broadcast a Canadian
content level of at least 35% in popular (category 2) music.
Consequently, it is a condition of licence that the licensee
devote a minimum of 35% of all Category 2 musical selections
broadcast, during each broadcast week, to Canadian selections.
|
|
5. |
In Public Notice 2001-70, the Commission further encourages
native radio stations, that wish to broadcast wrap-around
programming after their daily sign-off, to use programming from
another native radio station or network.
