Application processed by
Public Notice CRTC 2001-94
dated 17 August 2001 |
| |
New Tamil-language SCMO service
|
| 1. |
The Commission approves the application by CJRT-FM Inc. to
amend the broadcasting licence for CJRT-FM Toronto, by adding a condition
of licence allowing the licensee to use a subsidiary
communications multiplex operations (SCMO) channel for the purpose
of broadcasting a predominantly Tamil-language radio service.
|
| 2. |
This approval authorizes CJRT-FM to provide a second
Tamil-language SCMO service. The first service offers programming in
Tamil, Telugu, Kannadam, Malayalam and English.
|
| 3. |
Programming broadcast using an SCMO channel is not accessible
with standard radio equipment. Instead, it requires use of a special
receiver. |
| 4. |
The Commission’s policy regarding services using the SCMO
channel of FM stations is set out in Public Notice CRTC 1989-23. In
accordance with that policy, licensees are expected to be fully
accountable for the content of SCMO services broadcast by their
stations.
