Public Notice CRTC 1999-1
dated 6 January 1999
Flexibility to broadcast a lower level of Canadian popular music for "oldies" radio stations
In Public Notice CRTC 1998-132, the Commission announced amendments to the Radio Regulations, 1986 that require commercial radio stations to broadcast a minimum level of 35% of Canadian popular music both over the broadcast week and between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday to Friday. Radio stations whose formats are based on the presentation of older music could request flexibility to broadcast a lower level of this music. The condition of licence set out below will allow the stations listed in the appendix to broadcast a minimum level of 30 % of Canadian musical selections.
The licence amendment
1. Consistent with the policy outlined in Public Notice 1998-132, the Commission approves the applications by the licensees listed in the appendix to this decision, to amend their broadcasting licences by adding the following condition of licence:
The licensee shall, as an exception to the percentage of Canadian musical selections set out in sections 2.2(8) and 2.2(9) of the Radio Regulations, 1986, in any broadcast week where at least 90% of musical selections from content category 2 that it broadcasts are selections released before 1 January 1981:
in that broadcast week, devote 30% or more of its musical selections from content category 2 to Canadian selections broadcast in their entirety; and
between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., in the period beginning on Monday of that week and ending on Friday of the same broadcast week, devote 30% or more of its musical selections from content category 2 to Canadian selections broadcast in their entirety.
For purposes of this condition the terms "broadcast week", "content category" and "musical selection" shall have the meaning set out in section 1 of the Radio Regulations, 1986.
2. The Commission reminds the licensees that they must specify, on music lists provided to the Commission, the year of release for all musical selections broadcast.
3. The Commission notes that no interventions were received with respect to any of the applications approved in this decision.
