Decision

Ottawa, 6 November 1997
Decision CRTC 97-626
Fairchild Radio (Vancouver FM) Ltd. Vancouver, British Columbia - 199701024
Increase in power for CHKG-FM
1.  Following Public Notice CRTC 1997-116 dated 3 September 1997, the Commission approves the application to amend the broadcasting licence for the radio programming undertaking CHKG-FM Vancouver by increasing the effective radiated power from 40,000 watts to 46,000 watts.
2.  Approval for this new undertaking was granted in Decision CRTC 96-288 dated 29 July 1996. The transmitting parameters in the original application were based on using the CFMI-FM New Westminster transmitter site. However, subsequent measurements have shown that alternative transmitting arrangements were necessary.
3.  The Commission notes that the licensee proposes to relocate the transmitter to a site approximately 300 metres to the northwest for which no approval is required. The Commission also notes that according to the licensee's statement, there will be no change in the proposed coverage in the populated service areas of the station.
4.  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.
5.  In accordance with subsection 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act, the Commission will only issue the licence amendment, 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.
