CJZZ-FM Winnipeg - Technical change
|
1.
|
The Commission approves the application by Global Communications Limited (Global) to decrease the effective radiated power (ERP) of the radio programming undertaking CJZZ-FM Winnipeg1, from 100,000 watts to 63,700 watts and to change the authorized contours. The change in authorized contours is a result of the decrease in the ERP and the relocation of the transmitter.
|
2.
|
Originally, Global planned to broadcast from a site in Starbuck, Manitoba. Global stated, however, that this site experiences overlapping noise which would have a detrimental effect on the quality of the station's signal. To remedy this problem, Global plans to place its transmitter on a tower owned by Rogers Communications Inc. and located about 27 kilometres east of the Starbuck site. Global stated that the relocation of the transmitter will have a minimal impact on the size of station's principal market.

The Commission reminds the licensee that, pursuant to section 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act, this authority will only be effective when the Department notifies the Commission that its technical requirements have been met, and that a broadcasting certificate will be issued.
