Decision CRTC 2000-56 |
|
| Ottawa, 25 February 2000 | |
|
Rogers (Toronto) Ltd. (formerly Rawlco (Toronto) Ltd.) Toronto, Ontario – 199810411 |
|
|
Application processed by Public Notice CRTC 2000-2 dated 7 January 2000 |
|
| Licence renewal for CISS-FM | |
|
The Commission renews the broadcasting licence for CISS-FM Toronto, from 1 March 2000 to 31 August 2006, subject to the conditions specified in this decision in the licence to be issued. |
|
It is a condition of licence that the licensee, in any broadcast week, devote 40% or more of its musical selections from content category 2 to Canadian selections broadcast in their entirety. |
|
While this 40% level for Canadian popular music is higher than the minimum of 35% required under the Radio Regulations, 1986, it reflects the minimum level of Canadian music that the licensee committed to program (as noted in Decision CRTC 95-630 which last renewed CISS-FM's licence). Further, in Public Notice CRTC 1998-41, the Commission announced its new commercial radio policy, introduced the 35% requirement and indicated that licensees currently subject to conditions of licence requiring either a higher or a lower level of Canadian popular music were expected to continue with their current commitments. |
|
The Commission notes that this licensee is subject to the Employment Equity Act that came into effect on 24 October 1996 (1996 EEA), and therefore files reports concerning employment equity with Human Resources Development Canada. As a result of a consequential amendment to the Broadcasting Act, the Commission no longer has the authority to apply its employment equity policy to any undertaking that is subject to the 1996 EEA. |
