REGULATORY POLICIES

Implementation of the campus and community radio policy

The Commission sets out its determinations concerning follow-up proceedings that it launched to implement and give full effect to its policy for campus and community radio set out in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2010-499. The Commission finds that:

  • it is appropriate to maintain the current levels of Canadian musical selections for campus and community radio stations; and
  • while it is not necessary to establish general requirements on volunteer participation, the Commission may impose such requirements by condition of licence on a case by case basis, as necessary.

Amendments to the Radio Regulations, 1986, to implement the campus and community radio policy and the determinations set out in this regulatory policy, as well as those in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2011-431 relating to the Community Radio Fund of Canada, are set out in the Appendix.
