Application No. 2006-1187-3
|
|
|
Application by My Broadcasting Corporation to amend the licence of radio programming undertaking CHMY-FM Renfrew, Ontario.
|
|
|
The licensee proposes to amend the licence by changing the frequency of its transmitter CHMY-FM-1 Arnprior from 104.7 MHz (channel 284LP) to 107.7 MHz (channel 299A).
|
|
|
The licensee also proposes to change the authorized contours of CHMY-FM-1 Arnprior by increasing the effective radiated power from 50 watts to 1,000 watts and by decreasing the antenna height (non-directional antenna/antenna height 45.5 metres).
|
|
|
The authorized contours of the transmitter will be increased significantly resulting from the proposed technical changes.
|
|
|
The Commission notes that the increase in power would change the status CHMY-FM-1 Arnprior from an unprotected low power service to a regular Class A service.

Application No. 2006-1214-4

The licensee proposes to delete the condition of licence, applicable to its Regina undertaking, relating to the use of local availabilities, which reads:
|
|
|
The licensee may, at its option, insert certain promotional material as a substitute for the "local availabilities" (i.e. non-Canadian advertising material) of non-Canadian satellite services. At least 75% of these local availabilities must be made available for use by licensed Canadian programming services for the promotion of their respective services, for the promotion of the community channel and for unpaid Canadian public service announcements. A maximum of 25% of the local availabilities may be made available for the promotion of discretionary programming services and packages, customer service information, channel realignments, cable FM service and additional cable outlets;
|
|
|
and by adding the following condition of licence to both the Regina and White City undertakings:
|
|
|
The licensee may, at its option, insert certain promotional material as a substitute for the "local availabilities" (i.e., non-Canadian advertising material) of non-Canadian satellite services. At least 75% of these local availabilities must be made available for use by licensed Canadian programming services for the promotion of their respective services, for the promotion of the community channel, and for unpaid Canadian public service announcements. A maximum of 25% of the local availabilities may be used to provide subscribers with information regarding customer service and channel realignments, and for the promotion of discretionary programming services and packages, cable FM service, additional cable outlets and non-programming services, including Internet and telephone services.
|
|
|
This proposal is consistent with the Commission's new policy for the use of local availabilities as set out in Promotion of non-programming services using local availabilities, Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2006-69, 2 June 2006.
