1. The Commission approves the application by Manitoulin Radio Communication Inc.

3. The Commission received interventions in support of this application as well as one comment. The interventions can be found on the Commission's website at www.crtc.gc.ca under "Public Proceedings."
4. The Commission reminds the licensee that, in accordance with the Community radio policy, Public Notice CRTC 2000-13, 28 January 2000, it must continue to broadcast diverse spoken word and musical programming that complements the programming offered by other elements of the broadcasting system, and in particular, by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and commercial stations.
