CING-FM Hamilton – Licence renewal
|
1. |
The Commission renews the
broadcasting licence for the English-language commercial radio
programming undertaking CING-FM Hamilton, from 1 September 2006 to
31 August 2013. |
2. |
The Commission received one intervention in
support of this application. |
3. |
The licence will be subject to the conditions
set out in New licence form for commercial radio stations,
Public Notice CRTC 1999-137,
24 August 1999. |
4. |
The Commission notes that this renewal includes
the continued authority to make use of a Subsidiary Communications
Multiplex Operation (SCMO) channel for the purpose of distributing
primarily Tamil-language programming. The Commission reminds the licensee
that, as stated in section 3(1)(h) of the Broadcasting Act,
it is responsible for the programs that it broadcasts. The licensee
is therefore expected to ensure that its SCMO service is operated
in a responsible manner and to adhere to the guidelines regarding
the provision of SCMO services set out in Appendix A to Services
using the vertical blanking interval (television) or subsidiary communications
multiplex operation (FM) channel, Public Notice CRTC 1989-23,
23 March 1989. |
5. |
Because this licensee is subject to the
Employment Equity Act and files reports concerning employment equity
with the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development,
its employment equity practices are not examined by the Commission. |
