Application No. 2005-0849-2
|
|
|
Application by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC)to amend the licence of the national Category 1 specialty programming undertaking known as Country Canada.
|
|
|
The licensee proposes to amend the following portion of the condition of licence 1a) which reads:
|
|
|
No more than 10% of all programming broadcast during each broadcast week shall be devoted to subcategories 6a and 6b.
|
|
|
with the following:
|
|
|
No more than 10% of all programming broadcast during each broadcastyear shall be drawn from subcategories 6a and 6b.
|
|
|
The licensee indicated that approval of the proposed amendment would provide Country Canada with the flexibility to more effectively schedule event-based sports programs and improve the attractiveness of the service to subscribers while maintaining the same amount of sports that is permitted to be broadcast throughout the year.
|
|
|
The applicant is further requesting to amend another portion of condition of licence 1 a) in order to remove the reference to Country Music Television (CMT).
|
|
|
The licensee stated that the reference to the Corus-owned service CMT was appropriate at the time of the original licensing decision as Corus maintained a 70% ownership interest in Country Canada. However, pursuant to Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2002-336, Transfer of effective control of 3899071 Canada Inc., 24 October 2002, Corus transferred all of its shares in Country Canada to CBC. As a result, CBC owns and controls the licensee so therefore, the reference to CMT in the nature of service condition of licence is no longer relevant or necessary.

|
|

The licensee proposes to change the authorized contours by increasing the average effective radiated power from 11,390 watts to 21,400 watts (maximum effective radiated power of 45,000 watts/ antenna height of 136.1 metres).
|
|
|
The licensee indicated that the proposed change would improve service to listeners in its prime market of Hamilton/Burlington and surrounding areas, particularly the western and northern parts of the City of Hamilton and in north-east Burlington. As well it would maximize the use of frequency 94.7 MHz while respecting the interference protections to other Canadian and U.S. stations.

|
The authorized contours of the station will be increased significantly resulting from theproposed increase in power.
