Sent via e-mail jkmuir@trentu.ca 12 June 2000 Mr. John K. Muir President Trent Radio c/o Trent University Peterborough, Ontario K9J 7B8 Re: Application no. 200014077 Dear Mr. Muir: In order to complete your above-noted application to renew the broadcasting licence of CFFF-FM, please provide the following information by 23 June 2000: * The Commission's revised policy for campus radio expects the board to include balanced representation from among the student body, the associated college or university, station volunteers, and from the community at large. Please provide the name of the group that is represented by each member of the board of directors listed in your application. * In Schedule 3, you state: "For over twenty-two years Trent Radio's current Board structure has worked well for those living in and around the City of Peterborough interested in non-commercial radio." Again, in Schedule 6, you state that "Trent Radio is sponsored by the full-time students of Trent University and shared with the community as a whole." These statements echo the Commission's view that most campus stations direct their programming to the community at large rather than only to the campus population. However, you have also indicated throughout Schedule 3 that you do not feel that balanced representation for Trent Radio's board of directors is necessary. Please explain this apparent discrepancy. Further, please provide detailed information on how you intend to bring your board of directors into compliance with the revised campus policy should you be required to do so. The Commission reminds the applicant that a licensee whose board is effectively controlled by a single organization is not in compliance with the policy. * The address of the University is not acceptable as a student residential address. Therefore, please supply the complete home address of Andra Keely and Cliff Rutledge. Yours truly, Carol Bénard Licensing Analyst Ontario Operations
