PREAMBLE
|
|
Items 1 to 18
|
|
On 12 March 2007, the Commission issued Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2007-24, calling for applications for a broadcasting licence to carry on a radio programming undertaking to serve Owen Sound, Ontario.
|
|
On 8 June 2007, the Commission issued Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2007-61, and on 13 June 2007 issued Broadcasting Public Notice 2007-61-1, calling for applications for a broadcasting licence to carry on a radio programming undertaking to serve Windsor, Ontario.
|
|
On 22 June 2007, the Commission issued Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2007-67, calling for applications for a broadcasting licence to carry on a radio programming undertaking to serve Peterborough, Ontario.
|
|
In response to these calls, the Commission has received a number of applications for licences to serve these markets.
|
|
Some of these applications are technically mutually exclusive. These applications are:
|
|
|
Items 1 to 4 are technically mutually exclusive proposing the use of the frequency 92.3 MHz.
|
These applications will be treated as competitive radio applications for Owen Sound.
|
|
|
Items 5 and 6 are technically mutually exclusive proposing the use of the frequency 95.9 MHz.
|
These applications, along with items 7 and 8 will be treated as competitive radio applications for Windsor.
|
|
|
Items 9 to 16 are technically mutually exclusive proposing the use of the frequency 96.7 MHz.
|
|
In addition, items 17 and 18 propose new commercial radio services for Kawartha Lakes that are also technically mutually exclusive for the use of the frequency 96.7 MHz. While these applications were not submitted in response to Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2007-67, the proximity of Kawartha Lakes to Peterborough and their proposed use of 96.7 MHz render these applications technically mutually exclusive with items 9 to 16. Accordingly, items 17 and 18 will be scheduled as part of the competitive phase at the hearing where the Commission will consider the Peterborough new radio applications.
|
|
Items 19 to 38
|
|
The Commission intends to consider, subject to interventions, items 19 to 38 during the non-appearance phase of the public hearing.
