Government of Canada Upholds Broadcasting Decisions CRTC 2005-338 and 2005-339

News Release

OTTAWA, October 19, 2005 - After careful review of the petitions received by the Governor in Council, the Government of Canada announced today its decisions (P.C. 2005-1772) to uphold Broadcasting Decisions 2005-338 and 2005-339 of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). These decisions concern the applications of I.T. Productions Ltd for a broadcasting licence to operate a commercial AM ethnic radio station in Vancouver, and of South Asian Broadcasting Corporation to operate a commercial specialty FM ethnic radio station in Vancouver.

The decisions, reached in July 2005, were found to be consistent with the policy objectives of subsection 3(1) of the Broadcasting Act.
The Government did not review CRTC Broadcasting Decision 2005-340, which dealt with six unsuccessful applicants, because it was not appealable to the Governor in Council. Only decisions to issue, amend or renew a licence can be appealed.
