Application No. 2006-0893-7
|
|
|
Application by Vista Radio Ltd. (Vista) for a licence to operate an English-language FM commercial radio programming undertaking in Greenwood with rebroadcasting facilities at Christina Lake and Rock Creek.
|
|
|
The submission of this application serves to regulate the previous authority granted in CKGF Grand Forks - Licence amendment, Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2004-356, 18 August 2004.
|
|
|
In this decision, the Commission approved an application by Boundary Broadcasting Ltd. (the former licensee) to amend the broadcasting licence for the radio programming undertaking consisting of the transmitters CKGF Grand Forks, CKGF-1-FM Christina Lake, CKGF-2-FM Greenwood and CKGF-3-FM Rock Creek, in order to delete CKGF Grand Forks and to recognize that programming now originates from CKGF-2-FM Greenwood.
|
|
|
In order to change the class of licence for CKGF-2-FM Greenwood to reflect that it is now an FM radio programming undertaking, Vista has submitted this application for a new FM service in Greenwood to effectively replace the non-existing CKGF undertaking and to add the rebroadcasting facilities at Rock Creek and Christina Lake.
