Examples of eligible Canadian Content Development (CCD) parties and initiatives by category as described in CRTC Public Notice 2006-158, Commercial Radio Policy (the Policy)
The following are examples of parties and initiatives that have in the past demonstrated that a portion of their activities qualify for Canadian Content Development (CCD), and that could still qualify under the new policy. These examples are grouped into the categories listed in paragraph 108 of the Policy.
This list replaces any list published prior to this date.
Contributions should be dedicated to initiatives that will provide high quality audio content for broadcast. All CCD initiatives must involve direct expenditures and must be allocated to the support, promotion, training and development of Canadian musical and spoken word talent, including journalism students.
Not every activity associated with the listed parties or initiatives necessarily qualifies. It is the responsibility of broadcasters, when filing their annual financial returns, or applicants when filing applications for new licences or for transfers of ownership or control, to clearly link their contributions or proposed initiatives with the CCD policy except in the case of FACTOR and MUSICACTION.
Allocations to Radio Starmaker Fund or Fonds RadioStar are only eligible in the context of applications to transfer the ownership or control of radio undertakings.
