Edmonton, Alberta
Additional information added to item 13
Edmonton and various other locations in Alberta, Alberta
Application No. 2007-1238-2
Application by Aboriginal Multi-Media Society of Alberta (AMMSA) for a licence to operate an English and Native-languages FM Type B Native radio programming undertaking in Edmonton.

The Commission notes that the applicant has requested the addition of technical facilities to its Native Type A undertaking CFWE-FM for both Edmonton and Fort McMurray.  In this regard, and further to the Native Broadcasting Policy (Public Notice CRTC 1990-89) and Exemption Order respecting certain native radio undertakings (Public Notice CRTC 1998-62), an addition at Fort McMurray would have the same force and effect as an addition at Edmonton.

For the sake of precision, the Commission therefore notes that Type B status will be considered in the event of an approval for either or both of the above-noted technical facilities.  The determination of the merits of adding one is therefore not related in any way to the determination of the merits of the other.

The location of the radio programming undertaking will, therefore, be determined by the Commission following the public hearing.

2008-4 Notice of consultation and hearing
4 June 2008
Winnipeg, Manitoba
Harmony Broadcasting Corporation called to a Public Hearing
Deadline for submission of interventions/comments: 8 May 2008

The Commission will hold a public hearing on 4 June 2008 at the Fort Garry Hotel, 222 Broadway Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba, commencing immediately following the hearing of the applications referenced in Broadcasting Notice of Public Hearing CRTC 2008-3.

On 29 September 2006, the Commission called Harmony Broadcasting Corporation (Harmony), licensee of the instructional campus radio programming undertaking CJWV-FM Winnipeg to a hearing (Broadcasting Notice of Public Hearing CRTC 2006-8) to discuss its apparent failure to comply with certain conditions of licence noted in Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2004-340, as well as its apparent failure to comply with sections 2.2(8), 8 and 9 of the Radio Regulations, 1986 (the Regulations). The Commission also noted the licensee’s failure to comply with a number of elements of the Campus Radio Policy (Public Notice CRTC2000-12) as well as noting a number of complaints regarding the licensee.

In Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2007-37, the Commission issued mandatory orders directing the licensee to comply at all times with the requirements set out in sections 2.2(8), 8 and 9 of the Regulations, regarding the broadcast of Canadian music, the submission of logger tapes and other information and to comply with the conditions of CJWV-FM’s licence concerning the broadcast of news, music drawn from Category 3, and formal educational programming. The Commission also required the licensee to file reports related to future compliance and to file other documentation on an annual basis.

In Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2007-37, the Commission further indicated that it might consider additional measures, including suspension, non-renewal or revocation of the licence, if the licensee again breached the Regulations or any conditions of CJWV-FM’s licence.

It should be noted that the Commission is also aware that the station has ceased its broadcasting operations since 15 October 2007.

The Commission is gravely concerned that Harmony has again failed to comply with very basic and fundamental requirements of the Regulations and the consequent uncertainty concerning its adherence to Broadcasting Mandatory Orders CRTC 2007-2 through 2007-6 and its conditions of licence.

The Commission is therefore concerned with the following issues, and will want to discuss these matters in order to determine the appropriate measures:

2008-2 Notice of consultation and hearing
27 May 2008
Edmonton, Alberta
Deadline for submission of interventions/comments: 2 May 2008

Edmonton and various other locations in Alberta, Alberta
Application No. 2007-1238-2

Application by Aboriginal Multi-Media Society of Alberta (AMMSA) for a licence to operate an English and Native-languages FM Type B Native radio programming undertaking in Edmonton.

The Application also covers 36 repeater transmitters.

The Commission notes that all of the above listed transmitters are presently in operation with the exception of the undertakings at Edmonton and at Fort McMurray which are new undertakings.

AMMSA filed this application in light of the fact that the operation of these transmitters no longer meets the exemption criteria set out in Exemption Order respecting cetain Native radio undertakings, Public Notice CRTC 1998-62, 9 July 1998.

Therefore, AMMSA needs to obtain a broadcasting licence to operate the new proposed station in Edmonton, with a new FM transmitter at Fort McMurray, and to persue the operation of the remaining FM transmitters.
