Public Notice
Ottawa, 8 October 1991
Public Notice CRTC 1991-105
ORDER EXEMPTING CERTAIN SHORTWAVE BROADCASTING UNDERTAKINGS

WHEREAS the Commission is satisfied that compliance with Part II of the
Broadcasting Act (the "Act") by the class of broadcasting undertakings
described below will not contribute in a material manner to the
implementation of the broadcasting policy set out in subsection 3(1) of the
Act,

THEREFORE the Commission, by order pursuant to subsection 9(4) of the Act,
hereby exempts from the requirements of Part II of the Act those persons
carrying on broadcasting undertakings of the class consisting of shortwave
radio broadcasting undertakings that:

- operate on the high frequency band 3 MHz to 30 MHz;
- the Commission would not be prohibited from licensing pursuant to any
Direction to the Commission by the Governor General in Council;
- provide a service that is intended only for reception outside Canada and
that is receivable only outside Canada, except for limited spillover
reception in Canada that cannot be avoided close to the transmitter site or
because the desired coverage outside Canada could not otherwise be attained,
and that,
- broadcast or rebroadcast no programming other than

a) programming of, or supplied by, a publicly funded government agency
whose mandate is to provide an international radio service, such as, for
example, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Radio Canada International,
and

b) simple statements of sponsorship that identify the sponsors of a program
or of the station. Such statements may incorporate the name of the sponsor
and a brief general description of the types of services or products the
sponsor provides, including the price, name and brand name of the product.
Such statements must not contain language that attempts to persuade
consumers to purchase and thus must not contain references to convenience,
durability or desirability or contain other comparative or competitive
references.

For the purpose of clarification, persons carrying on broadcasting
undertakings falling within the class defined above are only exempted from
the requirements of Part II of the Act in their carrying on of the
undertakings of the said class.
The Commission notes that, in view of this exemption order, no further
action is required of it with respect to the application by North American
Broadcasting Company (902097500) for a licence to carry on a shortwave
undertaking at Morden, Manitoba. This application was on the agenda of the 8
July 1991 Public Hearing in the National Capital Region.
