CJLF-FM Barrie and its transmitters - Licence renewal

1.

The Commission renews the broadcasting licence for the specialty radio programming undertaking CJLF-FM Barrie and its transmitters CJLF-FM-1 Owen Sound and CJLF-FM-2 Peterborough, as well as a new transmitter in Huntsville, from 1 January 2006 to 31 August 2012.

2.

The Commission received one intervention in support of this application.

3.

The Commission notes that the Huntsville transmitter1, is not yet in operation, and that the Department of Industry (the Department) has advised the Commission that, while the application with respect to the Huntsville transmitter is conditionally technically acceptable, it will only issue a broadcasting certificate when it has determined that the proposed technical parameters will not create any unacceptable interference with aeronautical NAV/COM services.

4.

The Commission reminds the licensee that, pursuant to section 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act, the authority for the Huntsville transmitter will only be effective when the Department notifies the Commission that its technical requirements have been met, and that a broadcasting certificate will be issued.

5.

The licensee is a not-for-profit corporation, and accordingly is not a commercial station as defined in the Radio Regulations, 1986. The licence will, however, be subject to conditions number 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 set out in New licence form for commercial radio stations, Public Notice CRTC 1999-137, 24 August 1999, as well as to the conditions set out in the appendix to this decision.

6.

The Commission reminds the licensee that, where it broadcasts religious programming as defined in the Religious Broadcasting Policy, Public Notice CRTC 1993-78, 3 June 1993, it must abide by the guidelines set out in sections III.B.2.a) and IV. of that public notice, with respect to the provision of balance in programming and the ethics guidelines.
