Further to its Broadcasting Notice of Public Hearing CRTC 2007-4 dated 29 March 2007 relating to a Public Hearing to be held on 28 May 2007 at 9:00 a.m., at the Commission Headquarters, 1 Promenade du Portage, Gatineau, Quebec, the Commission announces that it will consider the following application.
|
|
|
The deadline for submission of interventions/comments, for the following application is 3 May 2007

Sarnia, Ontario
Application No. 2007-0473-5
|
|
|
Application by Blackburn Radio Inc. to amend the licence of the radio programming undertaking CHOK Sarnia.
|
|
|
The licensee proposes to add an FM transmitter at Sarnia to broadcast the programming of CHOK in order to adequately serve the population of Sarnia.
|
|
|
The licensee advised the Commission that Sarnia is home to some of the largest petrochemical plants in Canada. The metal and steel associated with these operations almost eliminates AM reception in surrounding areas.
|
|
|
The licensee also identifies computer monitors and electrical equipment as impairments or obstructions in the reception of its AM signal
|
|
|
The transmitter would operate on frequency 103.3 MHz (channel 277A) with an effective radiated power of 875 watts (non-directional antenna/antenna height of 54.4 metres).
|
|
|
The applicant's use of frequency 103.3 MHz (channel 277A) is technically mutually exclusive with the application filed by Points Eagles Radio Inc. (item 12 on this public hearing), for a new Native Type B service at Sarnia.
|
|
|
The Commission may withdraw this application from the public hearing if it is not advised by the Department of Industry, at least twenty days prior to the hearing, that the application is technically acceptable.
