A commercial radio station is a private and for-profit radio broadcasting company that holds a licence from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).
The station’s signal may be transmitted simultaneously on the Internet, either in unmodified form or in a real-time broadcast of the terrestrial signal.
A tariff was officially authorized by the Copyright Board of Canada. This tariff will remain in effect until a new one is authorized, retroactive to its application date.
