In Applications for commercial radio stations to serve Winnipeg, Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2002-224, 8 August 2002 (Decision 2002-224), the Commission approved an application by Rogers to convert its existing commercial AM station CKY Winnipeg to an FM station to serve that city. The Commission did not, however, approve the use of the frequency then proposed by the applicant. Instead, the Commission directed Rogers to file an application for the use of a different frequency. The present application is in response to the direction contained in Decision 2002-224.

Furthermore, as stipulated in Decision 2002-224, the licence for this undertaking will only be issued once the applicant has informed the Commission in writing that it is prepared to commence operations. This undertaking must be operational at the earliest possible date and in any event no later than 8 August 2004, unless a request for an extension of time is approved by the Commission before that date. In order to ensure that such a request is processed in a timely manner, it should be submitted at least 60 days before this date.
