New native radio programming undertaking
|
|
Following a Public Hearing in the National Capital Region held on 18 August 1994, the Commission approves the application for a broadcasting licence for an English-and Native-language FM radio programming undertaking at Kangiqsualujjuaq, on the frequency 92.1 MHz, channel 221LP, 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 undertaking. This licence will expire on 31 August 1999, and will be subject to the conditions specified in this decision and in the licence to be issued.
|
|
The licence term granted herein, while less than the maximum of seven years permitted under the Broadcasting Act, will enable the Commission to consider the renewal of this licence in accordance with the Commission's regional plan for Native radio stations and to better distribute the workload within the Commission.
|
|
The Commission notes that this community station is owned and controlled by a not-for-profit organization whose structure provides for membership, management, operation, and programming primarily by members of the community at large.
|
|
The Commission notes that this station will broadcast 60 hours of programming per week, of which 40 hours will be local programming in the Inuktitut language with the remaining 20 hours in English, originating from the CBC Northern Radio Service.
|
|
The applicant is reminded of the requirements for Canadian musical selections set out in the Radio Regulations, 1986.
|
|
The Department of Industry, Science and Technology (DIST) 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 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 DIST that its technical requirements have been met, and that a Broadcasting Certificate will be issued.
|
|
It is a condition of licence that construction of this undertaking be completed and that it be in operation within twleve months of the date of receipt of the DIST notification referred to in the preceding paragraph or, where the applicant applies to the Commission within this period and satisfies the Commission that it cannot complete implementation before the expiry of this period and that an extension is in the public interest, within such further periods of time as are approved in writing by the Commission.
