Decision

Ottawa, 5 August 1992
Decision CRTC 92-521
Aroland Community Radio Station
Aroland, Ontario - 920086600
Following a Public Hearing in Toronto beginning on 19 May 1992, the Commission approves the application for a broadcasting licence for a Native-language radio programming undertaking at Aroland, on the frequency 89.9 MHz, channel 210, with an effective radiated power of 10 watts.
Pursuant to Public Notice CRTC 1990-89 dated 20 September 1990 entitled Native Broadcasting Policy, the Commission will issue a licence for a Type A FM native radio station. This licence will expire on 31 March 1999, and will be subject to the conditions specified in the licence to be issued.
The Commission notes that the station will broadcast 30 hours per week of local programming, which will be predominantly in Ojibway. In addition, the station will rebroadcast network programming received from the Wawatay Communications Society, originating from Sioux Lookout, Ontario.
The Department of Communications (DOC) has advised the Commission that this application is conditionally technically acceptable, and that a Broadcasting Certificate will only be issued once it has been determined that the transmitter's proposed technical parameters will not create any unacceptable interference with aeronautical NAV/COM services. In accordance with subsection 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act, the Commission will only issue the licence, and the authority granted herein may only be implemented, at such time as written notification is received from the DOC that its technical requirements have been met, and that a Broadcasting Certificate will be issued.
Allan J. Darling
Secretary General
