CHOI-FM Quebec City and 91.9 Sports (CKLX-FM) Montreal will remain property of RNC Media following an Apr. 30 CRTC decision that approved Leclerc Communication’s application to acquire the radio stations, but refused its request for an exception to the Common Ownership Policy to operate more than two French-language commercial FM radio stations in the Quebec City market. Leclerc says it won’t sell one of its other stations – WKND 91.9 (CJEC-FM) or BLVD 102.1 (CFEL-FM) – to proceed with the deal.

The CRTC has approved an application by Five Amigos Broadcasting Inc. for a broadcasting licence to operate an English-language commercial FM radio station in Listowel, ON. The station will be the first local commercial radio service in the municipality of North Perth. The station would operate at 100.1 MHz (channel 261B1) with an average effective radiated power (ERP) of 4,900 watts (maximum ERP of 8,000 watts.

The commission says the administrative renewals will allow for an assessment of all the stations under the revised framework.

The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) in the U.S. has filed a proposal with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) calling for more deregulation of radio and TV. NAB argues that the media landscape has changed drastically since the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and radio no longer only competes with radio. The NAB proposal suggests in the top 75 Nielsen Audio markets, a single entity could own or control up to eight commercial FM stations, with no cap on AM ownership; an owner in the top 75 markets would be permitted to own up to two additional commercial FM stations (for a total of 10); and in unrated and Nielsen markets outside the top 75, there would be no restrictions on the number of stations, FM or AM, a single entity could own.

Dr. Jada Watson

Gender Representation on Country Format Radio, a new study from the University of Ottawa’s Dr. Jada Watson, and the first to to examine Mediabase data, finds that women are getting less airplay than ever on country music radio. In 2000, women accounted for 33.3% of songs on year-end airplay reports, while last year they came in at 11.3%. In terms of spins, the ratio of men to women on country radio was 9.7 to 1. The top-played male artist Kenny Chesney had almost twice as many spins (6,047,111) as the top-selling woman, Carrie Underwood, who was played 3,182,237 times. The study only looked at American country radio, but Watson has plans to delve into Canadian country radio playlists, starting this summer.

He left CHIN in 1998 and started work to obtain a broadcast licence to serve Greater Toronto’s Caribbean and African communities. The proposed frequency, 98.7 FM, was met with opposition. Milestone Radio, the founder of urban station Flow 93.5 (CFXJ-FM), also had concerns about duplication. After three weeks of testing in 2010, the CRTC finally gave Gordon’s Intercity Broadcasting Network approval to use the frequency over the objections of CBC, Rogers Media, Astral Media, Bell Media and Durham Radio. G98.7 went live on Nov. 28, 2011. The last two letters of the station’s call sign – CKFG – are a permanent tribute to its founder. Read more here.
