Decision

Ottawa, 10 September 1984
Decision CRTC 84-765
Mountain FM Radio Ltd.
Gibsons/Sechelt, British Columbia - 840215800
Following a Public Hearing in Victoria on 18 June 1984, the Commission approves the application for a broadcasting licence for an English-language FM radio station at Gibsons/Sechelt on the frequency 107.1 MHz, channel 296A, with an effective radiated power of 32 watts to rebroadcast the programs of CISQ-FM Squamish, British Columbia.
The Commission will issue a licence expiring 30 September 1988, subject to the conditions of licence specified in this decision and in the licence to be issued.
However, in accordance with paragraph 22(1)(b) of the Broadcasting Act, the Commission will only issue the licence, and the authority granted herein may only be implemented, at such time as written notification is received from the Department of Communications that it will issue its Technical Construction and Operating Certificate.
It is a condition of this licence that construction of the station be completed and that it be in operation within twelve months of the date of receipt of written notification from the Department of Communications that it will issue a Technical Construction and Operating Certificate or such further period as the Commission may, upon receipt of a request for extension before the expiry of the said twelve months, deem appropriate under the circumstances.
The Commission acknowledges the intervention by Mr. John Burnside, co-publisher of The Sunshine Coast News, in which he expresses concern about the potential negative impact of a new radio station on advertising revenues in this market. The Commission also notes the applicant's response, which contends that the addition of a local radio station may, in fact, stimulate business activity in this community and result in increased newspaper advertising.
Fernand Bélisle Secretary General
