Broadcasting Licence Fees – Part I

1.      The Broadcasting Licence Fee Regulations, 1997 (the Regulations) provide for the payment of a Part I licence fee by certain broadcasting undertakings. Section 9(1) of the Regulations sets out the components for the calculation of the regulatory costs.

2.      Pursuant to section 10 of the Regulations, the Commission hereby announces in this public notice that the estimated total broadcasting regulatory costs of the Commission for the 2011-2012 fiscal year are $29.881 million.

3.      The annual adjustment amount referred to in section 8(2) for the 2009-2010 fiscal year is $2.060 million.

4.      The net billing for the Part I licence fee for the 2011-2012 fiscal year, taking into account the adjustment in paragraph 3 above, is $31.941 million. This amount is $3.871 million lower (i.e. a 10.8% decrease) than the 2010-2011 net billing of $35.812 million. This decrease is due primarily to the end of two years of temporary funding for the CRTC’s broadcasting activities announced in Notification of a temporary increase to CRTC Part I Broadcasting Licence Fees and Telecommunications Fees, Broadcasting Circular CRTC 2007-9, 21 December 2007.
