CHON-FM Whitehorse - New transmitter in Faro
|
1.
|
The Commission approves the application by Northern Native Broadcasting, Yukon to amend the broadcasting licence for the radio programming undertaking CHON-FM Whitehorse, in order to operate a transmitter in Faro.
|
2.
|
The new transmitter will operate at 90.5 MHz (channel 213VLP) with an effective radiated power of 1 watt.
|
3.
|
The Commission did not receive any interventions in connection with this application.
|
4.
|
The Department of Industry (the Department) has advised the Commission that, while this application is conditionally technically acceptable, it will only issue a broadcasting certificate when it has determined that the proposed technical parameters will not create any unacceptable interference with aeronautical NAV/COM services.
|
5.
|
The Commission reminds the applicant that, pursuant to section 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act, this authority will only be effective when the Department notifies the Commission that its technical requirements have been met, and that a broadcasting certificate will be issued.
|
6.
|
Given that the technical parameters approved in this decision are for a very low-power unprotected FM service, the Commission also reminds the applicant that it will have to select another frequency if the Department so requires.
|
7.
|
The transmitter must be operational at the earliest possible date and in any event no later than 24 months from the date of this decision, unless a request for an extension of time is approved by the Commission before 23 April 2005. In order to ensure that such a request is processed in a timely manner, it should be submitted in writing at least 60 days before this date.
