In the notice, the Commission asked for views regarding a number of questions relating to the ownership and operation of such undertakings, the nature of programming, advertising, participation by the community, and what status low-power community stations should have with respect to carriage by broadcast distribution undertakings. In Public Notice CRTC 2000-127 dated 1 September 2000, the Commission invited public comment on a licensing framework for low-power community television stations in urban areas. The development of this integrated policy approach to community-oriented programming undertakings stems from the merging of the public processes initiated by Public Notice CRTC 2000-127 entitled Call for comments on a licensing framework for low-power community television undertakings in urban areas, and Public Notice CRTC 2001-19 entitled Review of community channel policy and low-power radio broadcasting policy. The Commission also proposes some revisions to the licensing policy for low-power radio. This notice includes proposed revisions to the 1991 community channel policy, and a proposed policy and licensing framework for a new class of licence, namely a community-based television programming undertaking. In this public notice, the Commission sets out its proposed policy framework for community-based media, and invites public comment on these proposals.
