Description
October 5 Halifax GAE presented a brief to the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) at a licence renewal hearing to protest the local CBC radio station CBH's refusal to accept public service announcements for GAE's Gayline. CBC said that it could not accept the announcements because of "the element of controversy inherent in the Gay Liberation Movement" but that it was in the process of formulating a national policy for public service announcements for gay organizations.
