The licence will be subject to the
conditions specified therein and to the following conditions: |
|
- The programming shall consist solely of religious services,
with the exception of programs or program segments produced by
the licensee for the purpose of ensuring balance on matters of
public concern. Such programs or program segments must adhere

The Commission reminds the licensee that it
will not renew a licence unless the Department of Industry (the

broadcasting certificate. This renewal is therefore subject to the
issuance of technical certification by the Department pursuant to
section 22 of the Broadcasting Act. |
