Item 24 (Jim Pattison Broadcast Group Ltd. (the general partner) and Jim Pattison Industries Ltd. (the limited partner), carrying on business as Jim Pattison Broadcast Group Limited Partnership)
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Application No. 2006-0859-9
|
|
|
In respect of the applications by Jim Pattison Broadcast Group Ltd. (the general partner) and Jim Pattison Industries Ltd. (the limited partner), carrying on business as Jim Pattison Broadcast Group Limited Partnership and Saskatoon Radio Broadcasting Ltd., Nav Canada has indicated the possibility of strong interference to NAV/COM facilities due to the use of the frequency (106.7 MHz) in conjunction with two others that have been proposed in the Saskatoon area (106.1 MHz by Radio CJVR Ltd. and 102.9 MHz by AVR). Therefore, Nav Canada does not recommend the use of frequency 106.7 MHz. However, it could probably be used if only one of the two frequencies stated above (106.1 Hz or 102.9 MHz) was to be approved for operation.
