Reference No. 2008-1495-6 |
| |
The Commission has received
complaints regarding Pellpropco Inc. licensee of the
English-language commercial radio programming undertaking CHSC St.
Catharines, (CHSC) concerning allegations that CHSC has re-oriented
a significant portion of its programming to serve the Italian
community of Toronto. The Commission will discuss this matter with
the licensee. In this regard, the Commission will also discuss the
possible imposition of conditions of licence related to the nature
of the local programming broadcast on CHSC including the relevance
and orientation of local programming to serve the particular needs
and interests of the residents of St. Catharines and the surrounding
area. |
| |
The Commission is also
concerned that CHSC may have failed to comply with the Radio
Regulations, 1986 with respect to Canadian content, the
broadcasting of third-language programming, the filing of complete
annual returns, and the provision of logger tapes, program logs and
music lists. |
| |
The Commission expects the
