Lethbridge, Alberta
Application No. 2006-0381-2
|
|
|
Application by The Miracle Channel Association to amend the licence of television programming undertaking CJIL-TV Lethbridge.
|
|
|
The licensee proposes to amend its current condition of licence which prohibits it from broadcasting advertising material, with the following condition:
|
|
|
The licensee will not broadcast advertising material or commercial messages other than those promoting religious goods and services.
|
|
|
The licensee states that allowing the promotion and sales of goods and services related to religious subjects broadcast on the station is necessary for its viewers who expect to be kept informed of the availability of the resources and how to acquire them.
|
|
|
The licensee asserts that the sales of resource material and services is important to maintain the continued operation of the station and notes that its proposed amendment would not have an adverse effect on other local broadcasters as it would not sell commercial spots to third parties.

|
|
|
Application by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) to amend the licence of radio programming undertaking CBU Vancouver, British Columbia.

|
|
The licensee proposes to add a FM transmitter at Squamish to broadcast the programming of its Radio One service originating from CBU Vancouver, in order to continue to serve the population of Squamish and surrounding areas.

|
The transmitter would operate on frequency 98.3 MHz (channel 252A) with an average effective radiated power of 1,550 watts (maximum effective radiated power of 3,000 watts/antenna height of -389.53 metres).
|
|
|
The CBC indicates that the lease for the site of its transmitter CBRU Squamish will be terminated on 24 July 2006 and it has been unsuccessful to find an alternate location for its AM transmitter. Therefore, it has concluded that a change from the AM to the FM band is the most attractive technical and economical solution.
|
|
|
The CBC indicates that its Radio One service at Squamish and surrounding areas, received from its transmitter CBRU, will go off the air as of 24 July 2006.
