  • The Music of Emerging Canadian Artists on Commercial French‐ Language Radio
    Canadian Radio‐Television and Telecommunications Commission The Music of Emerging Canadian Artists on Commercial French‐ language Radio Radio Policy, Broadcasting Directorate 4/14/2011 2 Background In Call for comments on the definition of emerging artists on commercial radio, Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2008-16, 27 February 2008, the Commission announced that it would adopt definitions of emerging artists appropriate to French- and English-language talent, and invited suggestions for such definitions. The results of this process are published in Definition of emerging Canadian artists on commercial radio, Broadcasting Regulatory Policy CRTC 2011-316, also issued today. To assist the Commission in making its decision regarding the definition of Canadian French-language emerging artists, Commission staff undertook a study of the amount of such artists’ music played on French-language commercial radio in relation to two emerging artists definitions. Methodology Definition A – Suggested by the Association québeçoise de l’industrie du disque, du spectacle et de la vidéo and the Canadian Association of Broadcasters: A Canadian French-language artist shall be considered an emerging artist until one of the following thresholds has been reached: A period of six (6) months has elapsed since sales of one of the artist’s albums have reached Gold Record status according to SoundScan;1 A period of forty-eight (48) months has elapsed since the release of the artist’s first commercially marketed album. For the purposes of this definition, the concept of artist includes duos, trios or groups of artists operating under a defined identity. If a member of a duo, trio or group begins a solo career or creates with other partners a new duo, trio or group with a new defined identity, the solo artist or duo, trio or group shall be considered an “emerging artist” according to the above criteria.

In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements.
