Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2004-155

  Ottawa, 23 April 2004
  James K. Langille, Chief Administrative Officer, Town of Truro, and his successors
Truro, Nova Scotia
  Application 2003-0798-5
Public Hearing at Halifax, Nova Scotia
1 March 2004
 

Low-power tourist information service in Truro

1.

The Commission approves the application by James K. Langille, Chief Administrative Officer, Town of Truro, and his successors1 2  for a broadcasting licence to operate a low-power English-language FM radio programming undertaking to provide a tourist information service in Truro, Nova Scotia.

2.

The station will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on a year-round basis. It will broadcast pre-recorded messages promoting tourist sites and events in Truro.

3.

The station will operate at 107.1 MHz (channel 296LP) with an effective radiated power of 1.8 watts.

4.

The Commission did not receive any interventions in connection with this application.

5.

The licence will expire 31 August 2010 and will be subject to the conditions set out in the appendix to this decision.

6.

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.

7.

The Commission reminds the applicant that, pursuant to section 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act, no licence may be issued until the Department notifies the Commission that its technical requirements have been met, and that a broadcasting certificate will be issued.

8.

Given that the technical parameters approved in this decision are for a low-power unprotected FM service, the Commission also reminds the applicant that it will have to select another frequency if the Department so requires.

9.

Furthermore, the licence for this undertaking will be issued once the applicant has informed the Commission in writing that it is prepared to commence operations. The undertaking 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 2006. 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.
