Addition of conditions to the licence
for CJYQ
|
1. |
The Commission approves the application
to amend the broadcasting licence for CJYQ St. John's. By conditions of licence,
the licensee shall:
|
|
- broadcast, as an exception to the percentage of Canadian musical
selections set out in the Radio Regulations, 1986, a minimum Canadian content level
of 40% in Category 2 (popular) musical selections during the broadcast week and during the
period between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. throughout the broadcast week;
|
|
- broadcast Newfoundland musical selections representing a minimum of 20%
of all Category 2 musical selections aired during the broadcast week and during the period
between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. throughout the broadcast week;
|
|
- produce and distribute during each broadcast week, eight hours of
Newfoundland-based programming for broadcast on each of the stations acquired from Radio
VOCM; and
|
|
- expend a minimum of $100,000 over seven years on the production of
compact discs and demonstration recordings to assist artists specializing in the
performance of traditional Newfoundland music.
|
|
This additional direct expenditure is over and
above existing commitments offered in accordance with the Canadian Association of
Broadcasters' Distribution guidelines for Canadian talent development and
commitments to Canadian talent development accepted as part of Newcap's benefits package
outlined in Decision CRTC 2000-141.
|
|
For the purpose of these conditions, a Newfoundland
musical selection is one either produced in Newfoundland or produced by someone from
the province; and a Newfoundland artist is one born in Newfoundland or who has been
residing in the province for more than 12 months.
|
2. |
Newcap has indicated that its
Newfoundland-based programming will consist of a mix of Newfoundland musical selections as
defined above, together with comedy, artist interviews and plays.
|
3. |
In Decision 2000-141,
the Commission approved Newcap's acquisition of the radio stations in Newfoundland owned
by VOCM Radio, with the condition that the licensee submit an application, within 90 days
of the date of the decision, formally requesting the addition of the conditions of licence
noted above.
