Decision

Ottawa, 15 April 1997
Decision CRTC 97-140
Richard S. Creamer
Halifax, Nova Scotia- 199612940
Licence for special event
Following a Public Hearing in Montréal beginning on 24 February 1997, the Commission approves the application for a broadcasting licence for a English-language FM radio programming undertaking at Halifax, on the frequency 93.9 MHz, channel 230LP, with an effective radiated power of 25 watts, to broadcast non-commercial programming associated with the "March for Jesus" on 31 May 1997.
The Department of Industry has advised that the undertaking will operate with an effective radiated power of 25 watts rather than 30 watts, as indicated in CRTC Notice of Public Hearing 1996-15 dated 17 December 1996.
The Commission will issue a licence in effect only for the duration of the event on 31 May 1997, subject to the conditions specified in the licence to be issued. Programming will consist of Christian praise music.
The frequency approved by this decision is an unprotected frequency. Accordingly, the licensee would have to select another frequency for the operation of this station should optimum utilization of the broadcasting spectrum so require.
The Department of Industry has advised the Commission that this application is conditionally technically acceptable, and that a Broadcasting Certificate will only be issued once it has been determined that the proposed technical parameters will not create any unacceptable interference with aeronautical NAV/COM services.
In accordance with subsection 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act, the Commission will only issue the licence, and the authority will only be granted, at such time as written notification is received from the Department of Industry that its technical requirements have been met, and that a Broadcasting Certificate will be issued.
This decision is to be appended to the licence.
Allan J. Darling
Secretary General
