Regulatory Amendments to Implement Certain Aspects of the Revised Policies for Campus and Community Radio, and Incorporate Revised Content Categories for Radio

Summary

The Commission has adopted amendments that will increase the level of Canadian content required of campus and community radio licensees for musical selections in categories 2 and 3; remove certain requirements currently imposed on such licensees regarding the scheduling of this Canadian content; remove similar requirements regarding their scheduling of French-language vocal musical selections; and incorporate by reference the revised content categories for radio set out in Public Notice 2000-14.

In Public Notice CRTC 2000-44 dated March 21, 2000, the Commission called for comments on proposed regulations to implement certain aspects of the revised policies for campus and community radio and incorporate revised content categories for radio.

Four comments were filed in reply to this notice and the Commission wishes to thank these parties for their participation. In its submission, l'Association québécoise de l'industrie du disque, du spectacle et de la vidéo (ADISQ) expressed concerns that the proposed sections 2.2(14) and (15) did not require that musical selections from content category 2 be played in their entirety for the purpose of Canadian content and French vocal music requirements. The Commission agrees with ADISQ and has determined that campus and community stations should be treated like all other licensees in that regard. The amended regulations reflect those changes.

The Commission hereby announces that the Radio Regulations, 1986 are amended as proposed except for the changes noted above. The amended Regulations, were published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, on June 21, 2000.
