Le 30 avril 2026, le Conseil a publié l’avis de consultation de radiodiffusion CRTC 2026-79 afin d’étudier les demandes suivantes :
L’article 1 est une demande par Parry Sound Community Radio Association en vue d’obtenir une licence de radiodiffusion afin d’exploiter une station de radio FM communautaire de langue anglaise à Parry Sound (Ontario).
Item 2 is an application by Samantha Melanie Bear, on behalf of a not-for-profit corporation to be incorporated, for a broadcasting licence to operate a low power Indigenous (Type B Native) FM radio station in Flying Dust First Nation (Meadow Lake), Saskatchewan.
Item 3 is an application by Saddle Lake Radio Society for a broadcasting licence to operate an Indigenous (Type B Native) FM radio station in Saddle Lake, Alberta.
L’article 4 est une demande présentée par Golden Cooperative Radio en vue d’obtenir une licence de radiodiffusion afin d’exploiter une station de radio FM communautaire en développement de faible puissance de langue anglaise à Golden (Colombie-Britannique).
