||
| Applications by CORUS RADIO COMPANY and ROGERS BROADCASTING LIMITED to amend the licences of radio programming undertakings CFNY-DR-1 and CJAQ-DR-1, respectively, Toronto. | ||
| The licensees propose to amend the licences by switching the authorized frequencies from 1465.024 MHz (channel 8) (ON115) to 1456.304 MHz (channel 3) (ON113) for CJAQ-DR-1 and from 1456.304 MHz (channel 3) (ON113) to 1465.024 MHz (channel 8) (ON115) for CFNY-DR-1. | ||
| The applicants state that these changes will allow the broadcasters to consolidate these respective Toronto stations within a single Digital Radio Broadcasting (DRB) multiplex. | ||
