4. Programming 4.1 Canadian content development (CCD) - Over and above contributions

In Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2008-67, Regulatory Policy, Amendments to the Radio Regulations, 1986 - Implementation of the Commercial Radio Policy 2006 and the Digital Radio Policy, dated 23 July 2008, the Radio Regulations, 1986 (the Regulations) were amended to include provisions related to the new Canadian Content Development (CCD) requirements.

Section 15(2) sets out the basic annual CCD contribution requirement. Section 15(4), states that no less than 60% of the basic annual CCD contribution must be forwarded to FACTOR or MUSICACTION with the exception of ethnic stations or spoken word stations as defined in Part III Section 15 of the Regulations. A licensee proposing to operate an ethnic station or a spoken word station may direct the basic CCD payments to eligible initiatives that support their content. a. If the licensee proposes to exceed basic contributions to CCD as required by Part III of the Regulations, the applicant will, by condition of licence, devote a minimum of $ ______per year in direct contributions over and above the required basic amount to the development of Canadian content commencing in the first year of operations.

b. As indicated in paragraph 124 of Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2006-158, Commercial Radio Policy 2006, dated 15 December 2006 (Broadcasting Public Notice 2006-158), no less than 20% of an applicant's funding commitment that is over and above the basic annual CCD contribution must be allocated to FACTOR or MUSICACTION. However, in keeping with Section 15(4) of the Regulations, a licensee proposing to operate an ethnic station or spoken word station may instead opt to direct all of the proposed "over and above" CCD contribution to eligible initiatives that support their content.

The licensee will, as a condition of licence, direct no less than 20% of the amount identified in a) to FACTOR or MUSICACTION

YES ( ) NO ( )

If NO, and licensee will not operate either an ethnic or spoken word station, explain.

c. Provide a detailed description of the initiatives and funding level to which the licensee proposes to direct the over and above amount identified in a) excluding those funds allocated to FACTOR or MUSICACTION. (Appendix 4)

Licensees are reminded that all contributions other than those allocated to FACTOR or MUSICACTION must qualify according to the definition set out in Broadcasting Public Notice 2006-

158, paragraphs 108 to 110. The Commission will be requiring licensees to demonstrate how the recipients of those CCD funds meet the Commission's definition when filing their annual returns. 4.2 Local programming

The definition of Local Programming shall be as set out in paragraph 207 of Broadcasting Public Notice 2006-158, as amended from time to time. a. Provide a commitment to a minimum level of local programming to be broadcast each broadcast week: 42 hours 0 mins.

b. Referring to paragraphs 202 to 208 of Broadcasting Public Notice 2006-158, describe how the service you provide meets the particular needs and interests of the communities you are licensed to serve.

In the supplementary brief, include details concerning: i. Spoken Word content: this includes news, weather, sports, promotions of local events, public affairs, documentaries, programs of public debate including talk shows and open lines.

ii. Musical selections and music-oriented programs: these include pre- recorded and live material.

CJKR-FM is a music-based station playing 7526 minutes of musical selections during a broadcast week. It originates local programming for 17.5 hours daily out of the 18-hour broadcast day. CJKR-FM is the only radio station in Winnipeg to offer a mix of current and classic rock music at a ratio of 40:60.

We are a firm supporter of emerging artists through our parent company’s radio show Explore Music, which offers a 30 minute daily show. The Ongoing history of New Music is a documentary musical program that airs weekdays for five minutes, with the full show broadcast on the weekend.

CJKR-FM offers a total of 30 minutes of formal news, sports and weather throughout the day. Information about local events as it relates to the community and musical events adds up to 498 minutes per week.

4.3 Emerging artists Paragraph 92 of Broadcasting Public Notice 2006-158 states that the Commission will ask licensees through the renewal process for specific commitments to provide airplay for and to promote emerging Canadian artists and their music.

Corus is concerned with the prospect of having commitments to provide airplay and to promote emerging Canadian artists and their music as a condition of licence. This is because the issue of the supply of music is critical before a licensee can make any commitment to the airplay and promotion of emerging Canadian artists. Since the radio industry has no control over the supply of music in any format and the Canadian music industry does not provide any data or information on the supply of such musical content, it is not possible for a radio licensee to make commitments on the airplay and promotion of emerging Canadian artists.

As noted above, the Canadian music industry does not provide statistics regarding the availability of Canadian music recordings by emerging artists in the various music formats. With no historical knowledge as to what to expect from a supply perspective and with no control over the output of the musical content it would be inappropriate to require a condition of licence which could put the licence in peril for reasons completely out of its control.

Finally, the Commission has initiated a process to determine how to define the concept of an “emerging artist” (Public Notice CRTC 2008-16). The Commission has yet to make its determination on what constitutes an “emerging artist” and how this concept is affected by the various radio formats and what if any expectations will be made in regard to this new definition. Until the Commission has issued its policy it would be premature and inappropriate to make any undertakings in this regard. a. How would you define "emerging artists" in relation to your programming format?

See response above.

b. Currently, what percentage of musical selections aired by the station in a broadcast week features emerging artists?

See response above.

c. What percentage of musical selections featuring emerging artists do you intend to broadcast in the next licence term?

See response above.

d. How, beyond the provision of airplay, do you intend to promote emerging artists?

See response above.

4.4 New distribution platforms a. Unregulated activites

Do you presently or do you intend to distribute audio content which is not regulated by the CRTC by using emerging technologies, such as but not limited to, internet streaming?

YES ( ) NO (X)

If YES, describe:

ii. What types of programming material you are providing or intend to provide and how do the activities reflect the objectives of the Broadcasting Act, specifically in relation to the development and provision of Canadian content;

iii. The estimated population and geographical reach of these distribution platforms; and

iv. The estimate usage of the emerging technologies in operation.

b. Regulated activites

Are you conducting or planning to conduct experiments involving new distribution technologies such as DMB or HD Radio to broadcast programming?

YES ( ) NO (X)

If YES, describe:

i. The technology experiments and their operational status;

ii. The programming material that is being or will be distributed; and

iii. The estimated population and geographical reach of these experimental distribution platforms.

c. If you are not broadcasting in digital and have answered NO to sections a) and b) above, indicate what future measures, if any, you are considering to move into the digital environment.

b. The licensee accepts to adhere to the following codes, as condition of licence, during all hours of broadcast:

5. Transmitters 5.1 If applicable, provide a list of transmitters with their corresponding location.

The Commission requires that the licensee responds to questions regarding Employment Equity on behalf of the licensee as a whole, with reference to all of its employees in aggregate, that is, employees at all undertakings for which the licensee holds licences. a. Is the licensee subject to the Employment Equity Act (applicable to federally-regulated employers with 100 or more employees)?

YES (X) NO ( )

If YES, proceed to question 6.2, "On-air Presence".

If NO, proceed to question 6.1b.

b. Outline examples of any measures (including hiring, training, apprenticeship programs, work arrangements, etc.) that you have or will put in place for the designated groups (women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and visible minorities).

Questions c to e are only applicable to licensees that have between 25 and 99 employees c. How do you or will you communicate details of your employment equity policies to managers and staff?

d. Have you assigned, or will you assign, a senior level person to be responsible for tracking progress and monitoring results?

YES ( ) NO ( )

If YES, what authority does or will that person have to ensure goals are achieved?

e. What financial resources do you have or will you put in place to promote employment equity in the workplace (for example, funds for daycare, access for persons with disabilities, etc.)?

6.2 On-air presence

Information relating to on-air presence and voice-overs is available in Public Notice CRTC 1994-69, Consultations Regarding On-air Job Categories to be Included in the Employment Equity Plans of Broadcasters, dated 10 June 1994, and Public Notice CRTC 1995-98, Amendment to Reporting Requirements for Employment Equity in On-air Positions, dated 19 June 1995.

Question a is applicable only to licensees that have 25 or more employees a. Outline policies and procedures in place, or plans in this regard, to ensure the representation of members of the four designated groups in on-air positions, including voice- overs, where applicable. These policies, procedures and plans should include references to programs produced by the licensee, as well as to acquired programming and advertising.

Policies and procedures to ensure the representation of members of the four designated groups in on-air positions were described in our Annual Report to CRTC on Diversity in Radio – 2009, filed with the Commission on March 15th, 2010. Our annul report on diversity in radio for 2010 will be filed with the Commission by March 1st, 2011.

Examples include the following:

• General Managers have a duty to ensure that fair hiring practices are in place at their respective locations and that their hiring managers use outreach organizations to attract a diverse pool of candidates for job openings at Corus, including on-air talent.

• In addition, to reach a diverse group of applicants, Corus posts job openings on its website and forwards them to a number of outreach organizations including CareerEdge, CNIB and CWC, as well as to Completing the Circle, Human Resource Skills Development Canada, The Aboriginal Human Resource Development Council of Canada, Aboriginal Multi- Media Society and Aboriginal Youth Network where appropriate.

• Corus is a member of the Strategic Alliance of Broadcasters for Aboriginal Reflection which is a group of Canadian broadcasters and Aboriginal organizations working to increase the contribution and representation of Aboriginal people in all aspects of the Canadian broadcasting industry. Jointly initiated by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada and a diverse group of broadcasters, the Alliance examines opportunities for Aboriginal participation in targeted areas such as internships, scholarships, partnerships with Aboriginal organizations and participation at job and career fairs targeting Aboriginal people. Question b is applicable only to licensees that have 100 or more employees b. Provide the total number and percentage of on-air employees (full-time, part-time and temporary), including voice-overs, from each designated group, as well as the total number of all on-air employees who were employed in the last year, in which reports were submitted to Human Resources and Skills Development Canada.

Licensees are not required to provide data for each of the four job categories identified individually in the above-mentioned public notices, but rather for the four categories identified in aggregate.

On-air employees Number % Women 234 40.28 Aboriginal Peoples 3 0.52 Persons with Disabilities 6 1.03 Visible Minorities 15 2.58 Total number of on-air employees 581

6.3 Cultural diversity When the Commission refers to cultural diversity, it is referring to the inclusion of groups that have been traditionally under-represented in broadcasting: ethnocultural minorities, Aboriginal peoples, as well as persons with disabilities. Such under-representation includes these groups' presence and portrayal on the air and their participation in the industry.

As set out in Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2007-122, Canadian Association of Broadcasters' Best Practices for Diversity in Private Radio; Reporting requirements on cultural diversity for commercial radio operators, dated 2 November 2007 (Broadcasting Public Notice 2007-122), the Commission expects all radio broadcasters to follow the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' best practices for diversity in radio in order to incorporate and reflect the reality of Canada's ethnocultural minorities, Aboriginal peoples, and persons with disabilities in their programming. a. Describe the steps you've taken to implement these best practices, as well as those initiatives you are planning to implement in the next licence term.

Corus Radio’s approach to cultural diversity follows the CAB’s Best Practices for Diversity in Private Radio, which were approved by the Commission in BPN 2007-122. Corus Radio is taking steps to implement these best practices and reports to the Commission annually on its progress in this regard.

In February 2009, Corus Radio filed its first Annual Report on Diversity in Radio for 2008, following the reporting template developed by the CAB. Our third annual report, covering 2010, will be filed by March 1st, 2011. These reports describe how Corus Radio fosters cultural diversity in each of the following seven areas: Corporate Accountability; Programming; News and Information Programming; Recruitment, Hiring and Retention; Internship, Mentoring and Scholarships; Community and Industry Outreach; and Internal Communications.

Activities that Corus Radio is undertaking to implement the CAB’s best practices include the following:

• All Corus employees are required to adhere to our “Respect in the Workplace” policies which include ethnic minorities.

• Corus has also joined the Strategic Alliance of Broadcasters for Aboriginal Reflection which is a group of Canadian broadcasters and Aboriginal organizations working to increase the contribution and representation of Aboriginal people in all aspects of the Canadian broadcasting industry. Jointly initiated by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada and a diverse group of broadcasters, the Alliance examines opportunities for Aboriginal participation in targeted areas such as internships, scholarships, partnerships with Aboriginal organizations and participation at job and career fairs targeting Aboriginal people.

• Corus Radio Winnipeg began a mentoring training program with National Screen Institution (NSI) and their journalism program. Throughout the year Corus Radio Winnipeg will have Aboriginal students from NSI training being mentored in our studios by our on-air staff.

• CJKR-FM also supports diverse organizations and events in the community, including: o Winnipeg Harvest (support to feed babies and infants, many of whom are aboriginal, through the food banks throughout Manitoba) o Alzheimer Society of Manitoba o Little Warriors o Rick Hansen Wheels in Motion

b. For the purpose of meeting the reporting requirements established in Broadcasting Public Notice 2007-122, please confirm whether you are a large, medium or small radio operator, in accordance with the definitions as set out in paragraph 22 of the same notice, and that you will comply with the corresponding reporting requirement.

Corus Radio is a large radio operator as defined in paragraph 22 of Public Notice 2007-122. Corus Radio confirms that it will comply with the annual reporting requirement for large commercial radio operators.
