The amounts above will fulfil the seventh year of Rock 95's commitments.

Application by O.K. Radio Group Ltd. relating to the licence of radio programming undertaking CKYX-FM Fort McMurray, Alberta.
|
|
|
The licensee proposes to change the authorized contours by increasing the effective radiated power from 2,790 watts to 40,000 watts and by increasing the antenna height (non-directional antenna/antenna height to 129 metres).
|
|
|
The applicant states that the proposed change in contours would be the result of an upgrade to the transmitting facilities.
|
|
|
The technical changes would allow the population of Fort McMurray to remain listening to their local station over a greater distance along the commute, both north and south of the city. In addition, these proposed technical changes are also expected to provide a general improvement for the broadcast signal in downtown Fort McMurray.
|
|
|
The authorized contours of the station will be increased significantly resulting from the proposed increase in power and increase antenna height.
|
|
|
In CRTC Notice of Public Hearing 2006-4, the Commission gazetted applications from 9 applicants seeking licences for new FM stations to serve Fort McMurray.

Dawson, Yukon Territory
Application No. 2006-0615-5
|
|
|
Application by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) to amend the broadcasting licence of the radio programming undertaking CFWH Whitehorse.
|
|
|
The CBC proposes to change its condition of licence in order to extend the period of time from 1 June 2006 until 31 December 2006, to simulcast the programming of CFWH Whitehorse on the FM band following the commencement of operation of the new AM transmitter. The new AM transmitter was approved in, CFWH Whitehorse - New Transmitter in Dawson, Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2004-358, 18 August 2004 (Decision 2004-358).
|
|
|
In Decision 2004-358, the Commission approved by condition of licence, a simulcast period of three months following commencement of operation of the new AM transmitter CBDN Dawson. The CBC confirmed that it commenced the operation of CBDN on
1 March 2006.
|
|
|
The CBC has stated that it has been approached by a local communication society who has expressed interest in taking over the FM undertaking and operates it as a community-owned transmitter. It believes that extending the simulcast period would allow discussions to continue as well as listeners would benefit from an uninterrupted FM service for at least another six months.
