RADIO PROGRAMMING UNDERTAKING TO SERVE TROIS-RIVIÈRES, QUEBEC |
|
The Commission announces that it has received an application for
a broadcasting licence to provide an FM radio service to serve
Trois-Rivières, Quebec. |
|
The Commission hereby calls for applications from other parties
wishing to obtain such a licence. |
|
Persons interested in responding to this call must submit a
formal application to the Commission no later than 18 April 2002.
Applicants are also required to submit all necessary technical
documentation to the Department of Industry by the same date. |
|
It should be noted that, in making this call, the Commission has
not reached any conclusion with respect to the licensing of such a
service, nor should it necessarily be construed that the Commission
will, by virtue of having called for applications, authorize such a
service at this time. |
|
Applicants will be required to provide evidence giving clear
indication that there is a demand and a market for the station and
the proposed service. Without restricting the scope of the issues to
be considered, the following should be addressed: |
|
1. The contribution that the proposed service will make to
achieving the objectives established in the Broadcasting Act
and, in particular, to the production of local and regional
programming.
|
|
2. The factors relevant to the evaluation of applications, as
outlined in Decision CRTC 1999-480 dated 28 October 1999.
|
|
3. The means by which the applicant will promote the
development of Canadian talent, including local and regional
talent.
|
|
4. An analysis of the markets involved and potential
advertising revenues, taking into account the results of any
survey undertaken supporting the estimates.
|
|
5. Evidence as to the availability of financial resources
consistent with the requirements established in the financial
projections of the applicant's business plan. For the convenience
of applicants, the Commission has available upon request a
document entitled "Documentation Required by the Commission
to Support the Availability of an Applicant's Proposed
Financing".
|
|
The Commission also reminds applicants that they must comply with
the eligibility requirements set out in the Direction to the CRTC
(Ineligibility of Non-Canadians), SOR/97-192, dated 8 April
1997, as amended by SOR/98-1268, dated 15 July 1998 and the Direction
to the CRTC (Ineligibility to Hold Broadcasting Licences), SOR/85-627,
dated 27 June 1985, as amended by SOR/97-231, dated 22 April 1997. |
|
The Commission will announce at a later date the public process
for considering applications and where they may be examined by the
public. As part of that process, the public will be given the
opportunity to comment on any application by submitting written
intervention(s) to the CRTC. |
|
Notice of each application will also be published in newspapers
of general circulation within the area to be served. |
