Application No. 2005-1588-5
|
|
|
Application by Houssen Broadcasting Ltd. (Houssen)relating to the licence of radio programming undertaking CKOE-FM Moncton, New Brunswick.
|
|
|
Houssen proposes to change the authorized contours byincreasingthe effective radiated power from 50 watts to an average effective radiated power of 725 watts and by increasing the antenna height (maximum effective radiated power of 2,900 watts/antenna height 112 metres).
|
|
|
The Commission notes that the increase in power would result in a change of the CKOE-FM status from a low power unprotected service to a regular Class A service.
|
|
|
Houssen indicates that these changes are necessary in order to ensure the long term viability of CKOE-FM. Moreover, Houssen indicates that the proposed changes will result in a better quality signal to listeners in the Moncton metropolitan area as well as reaching those in the rural outskirts of the city.
