Application Nos. 2010-0049-7 and 2010-0074-4
Application No. 2009-1515-0
Application No. 2010-0111-4
These involve radio licence renewal applications by licensees that appear to be operating in non-compliance with either their conditions of licence or the Radio Regulations, 1986. These applications will be heard as appearing items.
The Commission intends to consider, subject to interventions, items 3 to 7 during the non-appearing phase of the public hearing.
1. Saint-Constant, Quebec
Application by 3553230 Canada Inc. to renew the broadcasting licence for the French-language commercial radio programming undertaking CJMS Saint-Constant, expiring 31 August 2010.
It appears to the Commission that the licensee may have failed to comply with its condition of licence concerning contributions to Canadian talent development (CTD).
In CJMS Saint-Constant – Licence renewal, Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2008-223, 26 August 2008, the Commission renewed CJMS's licence for a short-term of two years given that it was the second time that CJMS had been found to be in non-compliance with the Radio Regulations, 1986. The Commission also imposed a condition of licence requiring the licensee to remit all outstanding required contributions to CTD by no later than 31 August 2008. It now appears to the Commission that the licensee has failed to do so.
The Commission intends to inquire into these matters at the hearing. The Commission expects the licensee to show cause at this hearing why a mandatory order should not be issued requiring the licensee to comply with its condition of licence relating to contributions to CTD.
The Commission also expects the licensee to demonstrate at this hearing why the Commission should not suspend, revoke or refuse to renew CJMS's licence, pursuant to sections 24 and 9 of the Broadcasting Act.

Application by Metromedia CMR Broadcasting Inc. to renew the broadcasting licence for the English-language commercial radio programming undertaking CFQR-FM Montréal, expiring 31 August 2010.
It appears to the Commission that the licensee may have failed to comply with subsection 2.2(3.1)(b) of the Radio Regulations, 1986 (the Regulations) concerning the broadcast of Canadian musical selections from content subcategory 34 (Jazz and blues) for the week of 5 to 11 July 2009.
The Commission intends to inquire into these matters at the hearing. The Commission expects the licensee to show cause at this hearing why a mandatory order should not be issued requiring the licensee to comply with the Regulations relating to level of Canadian musical selections from content subcategory 34 that must be broadcast during the broadcast week.
In CFQR-FM Montréal – Licence renewal, Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2006-597, 16 October 2006, the Commission issued a two-year short term licence renewal for CFQR-FM to 31 August 2010, based on its failure to comply with its condition of licence relating to the broadcast of hits.
On 2 November 2007, the Commission approved by Letter of Authority (Application no. 2007-1288-7), a change in the effective control of TFN Inc., from Mr. Michael Garrow to Mayhem. Following this approval, Mayhem advanced loans (the "Loans") to TFN Global and obtained security interest in all the assets of TFN Global and TFN Inc. Mayhem has sold participation interests in the Loans to various parties (the "Participants").
Under the PPSA procedure, all related property of TFN Inc. becomes the property of Mayhem. After such foreclosure is effected, Mayhem would become the owner of all the assets of TFN Inc.
Subsequently, Mayhem and the Participants intend to reorganize and re-capitalize the undertakings. As such, the proposed licensee, Fight Media, will acquire the assets from Mayhem and will assume responsibility for current trade payables and regulatory obligations.
Fight Holdings Inc. (Fight Holdings), the parent corporation of Fight Media, will initially be held by Mayhem Capital LP (Mayhem LP), a limited partnership controlled by its general partner Mayhem GP Corp. (Mayhem GP). All of the issued and outstanding voting shares of Mayhem GP will be owned by Mr. Nordholm and Mr. Owen (50% each).
According to the applicant, the proposed transaction will not result in a change in control of the undertakings as Messrs. Nordholm and Owen will continue to control the licensee by virtue of their ability to elect a majority of directors on the boards of directors of both Fight Holdings and Fight Media.

Dekkerco Holdings Ltd., a current partner holding 31 voting units (31%) and 50 equity units (50%) in the partnership, will be wound up into its parent corporation 591666 Saskatchewan Ltd. (591666).
As a result, 591666 will hold the voting 31% and equity units and become a partner in the Partnership, thus requiring the issuance of new broadcasting licences to Rawlco Radio Ltd., 587681 Saskatchewan Ltd. and 591666 Saskatchewan Ltd., partners in a general partnership carrying on business as Northwestern Radio Partnership.
Application No. 2010-0074-4
Two new corporations will be incorporated, herein referred to as DavidCo (wholly owned by David Dekker) and HarryCo (wholly owned by Harry Dekker Jr.)
591666, a corporation owned by David Dekker (100% of the voting shares and 80% of the non-voting shares) and Harry Dekker Jr. (20% of the non-voting shares) will transfer its voting and equity units in the partnership, as follows:
40 equity units and all of its voting units (31%) in the partnership to DavidCo; and
10 equity units to HarryCo.
Following the above transaction, 591666 will be wound up into DavidCo.
As a result, DavidCo and HarryCo will become partners in the Partnership with Rawlco Radio Ltd. (Rawlco) and 587681 Saskatchewan Ltd. This will require the issuance of new broadcasting licences to the applicant.
The Commission notes that this multi-step reorganization will not affect the effective control of the broadcasting undertakings, which will continue to be exercised by Rawlco.
