Review of CBC Long Range Radio Plan

For related documents: see Public Notices CRTC 1983-22 dated 7 February 1983, 1985-86 dated 2 Nay 1985 and 1985-142 dated 9 July 1985.

BACKGROUND

In Public Notice CRTC 1983-22 dated 7 February 1983, the Commission, in commenting on the CBC Long Range Radio Plan, established policy guidelines for the CBC including that there be no wholesale replacement of AM stations with FM, and that non-commercial, educational FM channels be used rather than commercial ones wherever possible. It also set out technical guidelines such as minimizing coverage overlaps. The Commission further indicated that the CBC should submit a revised Long Range Radio Plan in accordance with the studies and guidelines outlined in that notice and that it intended to review the revised plan every five years to reassess the Corporation's needs and to take into consideration new developments in the broadcasting industry and the evolution of new technology.

CRTC and Department of Communications (DOC) staff studied the feasibility of implementing these guidelines and submitted the Feasibility Study Report on 6 September 1983.

In its response dated 13 January 1984, the CBC accepted many of the recommendations of the Feasibility Study Report and suggested that a Tripartite Committee consisting of representatives from the CBC, CRTC and DOC be formed to examine and recommend solutions to remaining "coverage shortcomings" in selected areas and deal with other outstanding issues and differences. On the basis of the Report and the CBC response, in July 1984, the Commission published revised Tables setting out the CBC's Long Range Radio Plan, including the unresolved items.

The Tripartite Committee was able to resolve many of the outstanding issues. Its report was submitted on 20 November 1984 and recommended that further studies and field tests be conducted in some areas. Twenty-seven items remained unresolved.

In Public Notice CRTC 1985-86 dated 2 May 1985, the Commission published its conclusions on the Tripartite Committee Report. Essentially, the Committee's recommendations were accepted. The Commission also established guidelines outlining those locations in which the CBC may and may not use FM instead of AM frequencies for the extension of its basic AM radio services. Subsequently, in Public Notice CRTC 1985-142 dated 9 July 1985, the Commission further refined these guidelines by outlining the circumstances under which the CBC may replace low-power unprotected AM transmitters with FM transmitters.

In preparing for the public hearing on the renewal of the CBC's radio network licences, the CBC requested that the five-year review of its Long Range Radio Plan be conducted separately from the renewal hearing. This request was granted. The renewal hearing was held from 13 to 16 October 1987 and in Decision CRTC 88-181 dated 30 March 1988 the CBC's radio network licences were renewed for a three-year term.

On 31 January 1989 the CBC submitted its revised Long Range Radio Plan.

THE REVISED LONG RANGE RADIO PLAN

The CBC submission states in part:

 The purpose of the Corporation's Long Range Radio Plan is to provide a planning context within which the Corporation can deliver the full range of public radio services, at the highest quality, to the maximum number of Canadians, as effectively and efficiently as possible.

 The Plan identifies those frequencies which are likely to be required to fulfill that mandate, with a view to ensuring, to the greatest extent possible, that they remain available for that purpose in the future. By making public the Corporation's long range radio frequency requirements, the Plan is also intended to assist both regulators and other broadcasters in the orderly and appropriate use and development of the radio spectrum ...

 The Corporation welcomes the flexibility and adaptability implied by the Commission's expressed desire to see and participate in periodic five-year revisions and reviews of the Long Range Radio Plan.

 As previously noted, the Corporation's financial situation has changed dramatically since the original Long Range Radio Plan was developed. For the past several years, no addition of capital or operating funds have been made available for extension of service. The Affiliate Replacement and Accelerated Coverage Plans have had to be put on hold, as has Stereo extension.

 Given these financial circumstances and given also the Commission's intention to review the Long Range Radio Plan every five years, the present revised Plan is very much a five-year document. At the same time, it remains as comprehensive as possible. Obviously, we cannot undertake to implement all -- or even most -- of these proposals within the next five years. Nor can we commit ourselves to specific implementation dates for any of these proposals. The Corporation has no intention of applying for authorization of projects which it does not intend to implement expeditiously. Nevertheless, the Commission can be confident that, as resources become available, either through incremental funding or redirection of existing budgets, applications will be brought forward which are consistent with the Plan ...

 In preparing this revised Long Range Radio Plan, the Corporation has made every effort to comply with both the spirit and the letter of Public Notice CRTC 1983-22 and the Tripartite Committee Report. Thanks to a great deal of cooperative effort by all three parties (CBC, CRTC and DOC), this revised Plan represents a great deal of progress over its predecessor. Most outstanding issues have been resolved, and most proposals are consistent with the Commission's guidelines. No wholesale move from AM to FM is proposed. No formal channel reservation is sought. The Plan embodies generally agreed-upon principles, to which legitimate exceptions may be sought ...

The revised Long Range Radio Plan includes four separate sections of maps outlining the CBC's proposed plans for its English- and French-language Radio (Mono) and Stereo services (ER, FR, ES and FS). It also contains a fifth section of maps presenting a variety of optional solutions for certain areas where the CBC prefers to make the final determination at a later date. In addition, it includes Appendix 4 which shows the changes from the CRTC Tables dated July 1984; a total of 204 channel changes (deletions, additions and substitutions) are listed therein. In Appendix 5, a complete listing of all existing and planned CBC FM radio transmitters is also provided. However, the existing AM transmitters, even those which the CBC plans to retain, are not listed in this Appendix; they are shown only on the maps. Consequently, to assist the public, a list of CBC AM stations is included in Appendix I to this Public Notice.

ISSUES

In examining the CBC submission, the Commission notes the following:

1. Technical Criteria

In the original Long Range Radio Plan, in designing its FM transmitters, the CBC used technical criteria that were based on the population size of the communities to be served, as follows:

Population Minimum signal level

Over 100,000 3 mV/m 5,000 - 100,000 0.5 mV/m 500 - 5,000 0.15 mV/m

These criteria were developed on the basis of CBC tests which indicated that an FM signal of 0.15 mV/m was more than adequate for satisfactory service in small communities (population up to 5,000), in the absence of interference from other FM transmitters.

In addition, although the 0.15 mV/m signal is outside the protected 0.5 mV/m contour, it was presumed that in many cases, particularly in remote areas, actual interference from other FM transmitters would not be a problem, and that quite often signals in the 0.15 - 0.5 mV/m range would be available from more than one direction, thus improving the probability of satisfactory reception.

The original coverage maps showed the 0.5 mV/m and 0.15 mV/m contours. In Public Notice CRTC 1983-22 the Commission accepted the CBC's technical criteria but added a caution that these criteria should not be applied so rigidly as to cause coverage overlaps. It stated:

 Based on the DOC definition of the 3 mV/m and 0.5 mV/m contours, it is the Commission's view that the criteria for the design of CBC FM stations should include the following guidelines for minimizing coverage overlaps: the overlaps of coverage areas as defined by the 0.5 mV/m contours of stations belonging to the same network should be minimal. In addition the 3 mV/m contour of one station should not overlap the 0.5 mV/m contour of another. Where an FM station is adjacent to an AM station with night service limitation, the FM 0.5 mV/m contour should not overlap the AN Night Interference Free (N.I.F.) contour. Signal level specified for the stereophonic service should not exceed that for the monophonic service.

The revised coverage maps no longer show the 0.15 mV/m contour, without explanation for this change. It is also not clear what the ramifications would be; whether the CBC will continue using the 0.15 mV/m contour internally for purpose of coverage design, or whether it will delete this contour from its design criteria and require that all communities with a population of 500 or more be enclosed within the 0.5 mV/m contour. If such a change in criteria were to be adopted, the requirement for additional frequencies would be very significant with a corresponding impact on costs.

2. The Eu Contour

The revised Long Range Radio Plan coverage maps show the Eu contour (minimum value of usable field strength) of only those AM stations whose Eu levels are higher than 5 mV/m. For AM stations with Eu levels below 5 mV/m, only the 5 mV/m contours are shown.

The guidelines set out in Public Notice CRTC 1983-22 state that there should be no overlap between the AM Eu contour and the FM 0.5 mV/m contour. To facilitate the assessment of coverage and of any overlaps between AM and adjacent FM stations, the Eu contours, regardless of their levels, should be shown on these maps.

Since the CBC did not provide the Eu contours on some of its maps, members of the public who may wish to conduct such coverage assessment, would have to obtain this information elsewhere. It is noted that the existing AM stations' coverage maps published by DOC include the Eu contours.

3. AM versus FM

In Public Notice CRTC 1983-22, the Commission stated:

 After considering all the factors involved, the Commission has determined that the CBC basic service should remain essentially an AM service and be provided on the AM band wherever possible. The basic service may be provided on the FM band only in those locations where no suitable AM frequencies can be found.

 Consequently, the Commission would be prepared, on a case-by-case basis, to give consideration to the replacement with FM of those AM stations only which have poor night-time coverage and where their replacement would result in a significant improvement in service, and where coverage deficiencies could not be corrected by other means, such as change of transmitter site, increase in power or change in radiation pattern.

 When such replacement is implemented, extended periods of simulcasting should not be required and the AM frequencies should be released for other potential users at an early date. Where simulcasting continues till the expiry date of a licence, this will be reviewed with the licensee during the hearing on the renewal of the station's licence.

 The Corporation should also use as many AM channels as are now available or will become available in the future for the extension of its basic network services. The use of FM channels for the basic service should only be considered for those areas where no suitable AM channels are available.

Following the Tripartite Committee Report, the Commission stated in Public Notice CRTC 1985-86:

 It has become apparent that a rigid application of this policy would not only increase significantly the costs of extending the CBC basic services but might even delay their extension to underserved communities. Therefore, the Commission requested the Tripartite Committee to recommend guidelines, which would assist the Commission in determining whether, and under what circumstances, an exception to this policy is warranted.

 The Commission accepts the Tripartite Committee recommendation that exceptions to the policy of using AM frequencies for the extension of the basic services be considered only outside the areas of Vancouver/Victoria, Montreal and surrounding area, Southern Ontario and outside major urban centres, and not in areas where FM channels are in short supply.

 If the Corporation accepts this recommendation, and with a view to reducing extension of service costs, the Commission would be prepared to consider favourably the use of FM channels for the extension of basic services in all areas other than those noted above.

Subsequently, the Commission stated in Public Notice CRTC 1985-142:

 The CBC has proposed a number of FM stations which would provide basic service in areas where the Corporation operates low power AN unprotected stations (LPAM). Typically, the coverage provided by such an LPAM is limited to one small community with a small surrounding area, whereas the proposed FM station which would replace it would, in many cases, provide service to a wider area enclosing a number of communities and a much larger population.

 After careful consideration of all the factors involved, the Commission is now prepared to consider favourably only those proposals where the replacement of low-power AM unprotected stations with FM facilities would result in significant extension of service, namely, service being provided to a wider area enclosing a number of additional communities and a much larger population. Consistent with the guidelines in Public Notice CRTC 1985-86, these communities should be located outside the areas of Vancouver/Victoria, Montreal and surrounding area, Southern Ontario and outside major urban centres, and not in areas where FM channels are in short supply.

The Commission has been applying the guidelines in Public Notices CRTC 1985-86 and CRTC 1985-142 where appropriate and has approved many FM applications in cases which otherwise would have required the use of AM frequencies. In the present submission the CBC states:

 The present revised Long Range Radio Plan, which lays out the Corporation's current view of coverage planning for the next five years, is predicated upon the continued use of the AM band for the distribution of its monaural radio services in most major urban centres, except where those services are already delivered on FM, and in those few cases (discussed separately in Section VI below) where the Corporation feels it must at least continue to consider FM alternatives, since they may be the only technically and/or economically viable means of meeting service priorities in these cases. The Corporation takes the view that, in such circumstances, all options (including both AM and FM alternatives) must remain open for consideration.

It seems that even in areas where it was agreed that no exceptions to the policy of using AM frequencies for the extension of basic radio service would be considered, the CBC still wishes to consider both AM and FM alternatives.

Two examples are Victoria and Regina. The CBC English Radio service in the Victoria area is provided by CBU Vancouver and the affiliate CJVI Victoria. Eventually, CJVI may wish to disaffiliate and the CBC will need to establish a new station in Victoria. In Regina, the ER service is provided by CBK Watrous. However, as provincial capitals, Victoria and Regina are entitled to their own CBC ER stations in accordance with Public Notice CRTC 1983-22 guidelines, provided that their programming is separate and distinct from the other CBC ER services that may be available in these areas. Public Notice CRTC 1985-86 requires that these new stations use AM frequencies, because these are areas where exceptions to the policy should not be considered.

The matter of Victoria and Regina and other such cases is discussed in Section VI on page 15 of the CBC submission. In each case AM and FM alternatives are presented. The CBC indicated that it prefers to deal with these cases individually at public hearings.

4. Maximum Parameters

On page 7 of its submission, the CBC states that the "proposed FM stations included in the Plan are designed to operate at or near maximum parameters for their class".

The Commission notes that many existing and proposed CBC transmitters use parameters significantly lower than the maximum permitted under DOC rules. At times, when only a modest coverage area is intended, this is quite appropriate. In many other cases, however, this results in additional transmitters being required in adjacent areas that could be served by a single transmitter with maximum parameters. This has an impact on both frequency requirements and costs.

5. Regional Programming Service

A number of transmitters proposed in the plan are in communities that already receive radio service. The purpose of these additional transmitters is to provide regional service from a different source than that currently available.

Examples are Regina and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and Portneuf, Quebec. The ER service in Regina and Saskatoon is provided by CBK Watrous. However, the CBC wishes to provide both Regina and Saskatoon with local or "sub-regional" programming services and proposes to establish an additional transmitter in each city. In Portneuf, the FR service is provided by CBF Montreal and by CBF-8-FM Trois-Rivières, which carries the programming of CBF. Daytime reception of CBV Quebec in Portneuf is also possible. The CBC proposes to establish a new FM transmitter in Portneuf to provide the programming of CBV to this area.

The guidelines in Public Notice CRTC 1983-22 would permit the establishment of such an additional transmitter to provide the local or "subregional" programming for Regina, as a provincial capital. There is no provision in the Commission's guidelines, however, that would justify additional transmitters in Saskatoon or Portneuf.

It may be noted that while Public Notice CRTC 1983-22 permits the provision of a separate radio service to provincial capitals, the guidelines do not specify the extent to which this separate service has to be different in duration and content from other regional programming services available in the area in order to justify additional transmitters.

6. Proposals not in Accordance with CRTC Guidelines

The revised Long Range Radio Plan includes proposals that are not in accordance with the guidelines in Public Notices CRTC 1983-22, 1985-86 and 1985-142. The CBC states on page 6 of its present submission:

 Because the Plan is service-driven, the Corporation has shown the predicted coverage of proposed FM stations which, in its view, are required to provide service to listeners. Where these proposals are at variance with accepted technical criteria, the Corporation will, at the time of application, provide supporting justification of the requirement for each proposed station. This data will be based on measurements and/or predictions using methodology acceptable to the CBC, the CRTC and the DOC. In the Corporation's view, such detailed rationales for specific proposals are best advanced and discussed through individual applications, rather than in the context of a comprehensive Long Range Radio Plan. There are, in any event, relatively few such cases.

The CBC submission identifies some, but not all, of these proposals in Sections VI, VII and Appendix 3. In most cases, it also does not show alternatives that would comply with the guidelines.

Since the CBC states its intention to provide such justification at the time applications are actually filed, the Commission considers it appropriate to identify these proposals at this time and to make final decisions on them following individual consideration at public hearings to be held in the future.

Proposals that do not meet the guidelines in Public Notices CRTC 1983-22, 1985-86 and 1985-142, together with the appropriate alternatives that would comply with the guidelines, are listed in Appendix II to this Public Notice.

CONCLUSIONS AND CALL FOR COMMENTS

As the preceding sections indicate, there are still a number of unresolved issues concerning the revised CBC Long Range Radio Plan. In addition, some of the information in the CBC submission is presented in an inconvenient format, and other information, such as some Eu contours, is missing altogether.

The Commission intends to review the CBC's revised Long Range Radio Plan and the issues involved as discussed above, in accordance with the criteria and guidelines in Public Notices CRTC 1983-22, 1985-86 and 1985-142. It does not contemplate changing these criteria and guidelines at this time.

To assist in this review, the Commission welcomes comments on the revised plan and the issues it raises. Without wishing to limit the scope of the submissions, interested parties should comment on the following questions:

1. Should the FM 0.15 mV/m contours be shown on the Long Range Radio Plan coverage maps?

2. Should the AM Eu contours, including those with Eu levels below 5 mV/m, be shown on the Long Range Radio Plan coverage maps?

3. Should the CBC be required to use AM frequencies for the extension of its basic radio services in major urban centres such as Victoria and Regina, even if FM alternatives would be less costly, in order to maintain the principle that the CBC basic radio services remain essentially AM services?

4. Should the CBC be required, wherever possible, to improve its service and the efficiency of frequency usage by using one transmitter operating at or near maximum parameters for its class, rather than several less powerful transmitters located in nearby communities?

5. a) Should the CBC be permitted to establish additional transmitters to provide local or subregional service in communities that already receive a regional radio service from another source?

 b) If so, under what circumstances and conditions, and what priority should such projects receive vis-à-vis the extension of mono and stereo services to unserved communities?

 c) Should provincial capitals be treated differently than other communities in this regard?

6. How should CBC proposals that do not meet the CRTC guidelines be dealt with?

NOTES:

(1) Educational channel should be used. The Commission expects that ways will be found in the future to use the educational channels available in Victoria for practical stereophonic service there.

(2) Alonsa is located within the present Eu contour of CBW Winnipeg and does not qualify for a rebroadcasting transmitter under the guidelines set out in Public Notice CRTC 1983-22. If CBW is to be relocated closer to Winnipeg, its new site and design should be chosen so that it provides service to Alonsa and Fisher Branch as well as other communities in that area.
