| Public Notice CRTC 1998-68 | |
| The Commission has received the following applications: | |
| 1. CORNER BROOK AND STEPHENVILLE, Newfoundland | |
| Application (199716768) by WESTERN BROADCASTING LIMITED, P.O. Box 1039, Corner Brook, Newfoundland, A2H 7B2, to amend the broadcasting licence of the (radio) programming undertaking CKXX-FM Corner Brook, as follows: | |
| - by adding a low power FM transmitter at Stephenville, Newfoundland, operating on a frequency of 95.3 MHz (channel 237LP) with an effective radiated power of 4 watts; and | |
| - by ceasing the operation of the transmitter at Deer Lake, Newfoundland. | |
| In Decision CRTC 97-43, the Commission approved an application for the conversion of CKXX serving Corner Brook from an AM to an FM station. The licensee considered that the signal of CKXX-FM would provide full coverage to Stephenville, however, coverage "was less than expected". The licensee indicates that the Deer Lake transmitter was closed as the signal of its new FM transmitter at 103.9 MHz frequency proved to be capable of serving the Deer Lake area. | |
