Application processed by Public Notice CRTC 2001-45 dated
20 April 2001 |
|
Licence renewal for CFRT-FM
|
1. |
The Commission renews the licence for Type A community
radio programming undertaking CFRT-FM Iqaluit, from 1 September
2001 to 31 August 2008, subject to conditions specified in the
licence to be issued, as also set out in Public Notice CRTC 2000-157.
|
2. |
The renewal of this licence follows the new Community radio
policy which, among other things, removed the requirement for
licensees to submit a Promise of Performance setting out programming
obligations. These obligations are replaced by conditions listed on
the licence of each station (Public Notice CRTC 2000-13). |
3. |
The station will broadcast 20 hours of programming per week.
Community radio licensees have the flexibility to reduce or
increase their weekly broadcast time by up to 20% without
application to the Commission. A change of more than 20%, however,
requires prior Commission approval.
|
4. |
In accordance with the requirements of the new Policy, the
licensee made a commitment to devote, during each broadcast week,
15% of its programming to community-oriented spoken word
programming. In addition, it committed to devote 3.5% of its news
programming time to local news and 0.3% to regional news, during
each broadcast week. The Commission expects the licensee to honour
these commitments. |
5. |
The licensee has also committed to meet the new regulatory
requirements with respect to the percentage of Canadian musical
selections from category 2 (35%) and category 3 (12%) that
community and campus radio stations must broadcast each broadcast
week. |
6. |
The Commission expects the licensee to implement the initiatives
set out in its plan for Canadian talent development and to give
effect to the measures designed to encourage the participation of
volunteers. |
7. |
The Commission considers that community radio stations should be
particularly sensitive to employment equity issues in order to
reflect fully the communities they serve. It encourages the licensee
to consider these issues in its hiring practices and in all other
aspects of its management of human resources (Public Notice CRTC 1992-59). |
