The CRTC won’t renew the licence for French-language community station CHOC-FM St-Rémi, Quebec, since it ceased operation in August after filing for bankruptcy. The commission is inviting interested parties to submit applications for new radio stations to serve the community.
The CRTC has denied an application from LS telcom Limited, on behalf of Aujourd’hui l’Espoir, for a new French-language Christian music radio station in Lachute, Quebec that would have used the same frequency as Indigenous community station CKHQ-FM Kanesatake. While the proposed station was committed to devoting 80 per cent of its broadcast week to local programming, it would not have offered news.
CKWR 98.5 FM Kitchener has had its broadcast licence renewed until 2020. The community station, which has a history of noncompliance, was under scrutiny for late implementation of the National Public Alerting System; insufficient Canadian content; and failure to submit annual returns from 2013 to 2017.
JAZZ.FM91 (CJRT-FM) Toronto is facing a third lawsuit. Glenn Knight has filed suit against the non-profit station, claiming damages of $25,000 for breach of contract; aggravated mental distress, and/or punitive damages. Knight worked at the station for six years, most recently in a term position as program director, which ended in August. The suit follows a $420,000 wrongful-dismissal claim by former morning host Garvia Bailey, in addition to separate legal action led by a group set on overhauling the board of the registered charity. SaveJazz.FM is asking the courts to help it obtain the email addresses of approximately 2,200 donor-members so it can lobby them to have new appointees elected to the JAZZ.FM board of directors.
The annual Tree of Hope/l’Arbre de l’espoir radiothon on CBC/Radio-Canada Moncton raised more than $1.8 million on Nov. 30. Funds raised this year will support the the Dr. Léon-Richard Oncology Centre, which receives over 60,000 patient visits each year; satellite units in Edmundston, Campbellton, Bathurst and Caraquet; and the Mgr. Henri-Cormier Lodge, where over 1,800 patients stay for free each year, in addition to cancer research and healthy lifestyle promotion.
Evanov Toronto stations Z103.5 (CIDC-FM), Jewel 88.5 (CKDX-FM), 103.9 Proud FM (CIRR-FM), and AM530 Multicultural Radio (CIAO-AM) have launched a campaign to Feed The GTA’s Hungry This Christmas. The stations will be gathering donations, packing food and delivering Christmas meals to the doorsteps of over 500 families in need.
C100 (CIOO-FM) Halifax’s annual Toy Drive will broadcast live Dec. 6-7 from local Cineplex locations, collecting new, unwrapped toys and financial donations in support of The Salvation Army. The C100 Toy Drive is a 20-year tradition.
The Coast, Halifax’s independent alt-weekly, has wrapped its podcasting experiment releasing the 25th episode of its 25 For 25 podcast, celebrating the publication’s 25th anniversary. The year-by-year audio archive delves into the stories that shaped Halifax over the past quarter-century, hosted by editors Jacob Boon and Tara Thorne. Their final guest is CTV Atlantic veteran anchor Steve Murphy who explores topics from the value of local news to whether or not he once took a helicopter to a family reunion.
SIGN-OFFS:
Bill McGregor, 96, on Nov. 28. McGregor started his career at CFRB Toronto in 1947 as an operator under the tutelage of Bill Baker. In 1950, he moved down the street to be the chief engineer at CKFH, Foster Hewitt’s new station. He later moved over to CBC-TV. Around that time, he met Jack Fitzgibbons, who with his brother Gene, was preparing to startup CKCO-TV Kitchener. Bill joined CKCO in 1953 as Operations Manager, which went to air Mar. 1, 1954. The licensee company was founded as Central Ontario Television Limited – a partnership of Famous Players, K-W Broadcasting (CKCR-Radio) and Carl Pollock, President of Electrohome Limited. In 1962, the company acquired CKKW-AM, and in 1965 re-established CFCA-FM. In 1980, it became CAP Productions Limited and eight years later a division of Electrohome. McGregor was promoted from Operations Manager to GM, then vice-president and general manager, and eventually president and director. In 1993, he became senior vice-president of Electrohome. Active in broadcasting industry matters, McGregor served as president of the Central Canada Broadcasters Association (CCBA), president of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB), chairman and director of the CTV Television Network, a director of Electrohome Limited and a director of Rogers Multi-Media Inc.

ONLINE/DIGITAL:
GENERAL:
VICE Canada called it “a dark day for press freedom” following Friday’s Supreme Court of Canada (SCOC) ruling that VICE reporter Ben Makuch will have to turn over notes of his conversations with an alleged ISIS member to RCMP. The unanimous 9-0 decision upholds an earlier lower court ruling. Back in 2014, Makuch wrote three articles about Farah Mohamed Shirdon, a former Calgary resident, suspected of leaving Canada to join Islamic State fighters in Iraq and Syria. RCMP obtained a production order in 2015, compelling VICE and Makuch to hand over any communications with Shirdon and related data and documents, which both the media outlet and reporter refused. Read the full story here.
CBC English Services EVP Heather Conway, in her last week on the job, has responded to a column by the National Post’s Tristin Hopper entitled “Really want to help print journalism, Ottawa? Stop CBC from undercutting us.” The article took aim at CBC’s aggressive online expansion, decrying that privately-held media companies can’t compete with the public broadcaster’s free model and “bottomless resources.” In her response, Conway writes “This claim is made by private media in every country where there is a public broadcaster. It pretends that if there were no public broadcaster, then people would be forced to pay for their news, and all would be well, for private media companies, who presumably would also get all the digital ad revenue. This has never been true. Anywhere. In the case of newspapers, the revenue from classifieds, flyers and ads disappeared to the Internet decades ago. Today, Google and Facebook alone take 75% of all Internet advertising revenue in Canada. Two global companies. It is not Canada’s public broadcaster that is ‘viciously undercutting print media.’ During this digital transformation, while these digital companies have grown and Canadian newspapers have consolidated, closed or cut to pay debt from acquisitions, we continue to serve Canadians and have moderated the worst effects of the upheaval on their news and their culture.” Read her full reply here.
Bell Let’s Talk is set to pass a pair of major milestones on Bell Let’s Talk Day 2019 Jan. 30. Bell says it’s set to surpass one billion messages of support for mental health and $100 million in total funding, since the first event was held in 2011. With Bell donating five cents to Canadian mental health for each text, social media interaction, mobile and long distance call, the company says its total funding commitment has already surpassed $93 million, including its original $50 million anchor donation.
