Commission administratively renewed the broadcasting licences for
a number of transitional digital radio programming undertakings across
Canada, from 1 September 2006 to 31 August 2007. This extension
will permit the Commission to consider the renewal of these undertakings
in light of any amendments to the Transitional Digital Radio Policy.
