3. The licensee shall devote a minimum of twenty hours per broadcast week to structured enriched spoken word programming. For the purposes of this condition of licence, “structured enriched spoken word programming” shall be defined as:

spoken word programming as described above that does not include song intros/outros, surveillance information (such as news reports, weather and public service announcements), impromptu, casual or spontaneous talk by announcers during music-flow programming, contests, or any programming defined by content categories 2, 3, 4 or 5 as set out in the Radio Regulations, 1988; and spoken word programming as described above and of which the duration shall not include the time devoted to musical selections interspersed with or interrupting such programming.
4. The licensee shall ensure that a minimum of 2% of all spoken word programming broadcast during each broadcast week is in a Canadian Aboriginal language.
5. The licensee shall ensure that a minimum of 2% of all vocal musical selections aired during each broadcast week is in a Canadian Aboriginal language.

Expectations
The Commission expects AVR to build a studio in Vancouver by 31 December 2010 and to arrange for studio access from third parties in Calgary and Edmonton.
The Commission expects live programming to be part of AVR’s service, particularly during the morning and afternoon drive periods, by the final year of the licence term.

TL;DR - Enjoy 88.1 while you can because they ain't meeting the conditions of their license. Not by a long shot.
