The new transmitter will operate at 90.3 MHz (channel 212A) with an effective radiated power of 151 watts.

The Commission notes that the above-mentioned transmitter is presently used by the Prince George Community FM Stereo Society (the Stereo Society) for its radiocommunication distribution undertaking (RDU) to distribute the programming of CBC's Radio Two service out of Vancouver.

The Stereo Society indicated that, upon approval of this application, the CBC will take over the operation and maintenance of the Stereo Society's facility.
