|
|
The licensee has informed the Commission that the above-noted low-power transmitters are no longer necessary since there are other means of receiving its signal in these areas such as Direct-to-Home Satellite Distribution Undertaking or Cable Distribution Undertaking services.

Application No. 2007-0051-9
|
|
|
Application by Campus Radio Saint John Inc. to amend the licence of the community- based campus radio programming undertaking CFMH-FM Saint John, New Brunswick.
|
|
|
The licensee proposes to amend the licence by changing the frequency from 92.5 MHz (channel 223LP) to 107.3 MHz (channel 297A1).
|
|
|
The licensee also proposes to change the authorized contours by increasingthe effective radiated power from 50 to 250 watts, by increasing the antenna height and by relocating the transmitter (non-directional antenna/antenna height 50.5 metres).
|
|
|
The authorized contours of the station will be changed significantly resulting from the above technical changes.
|
|
|
The Commission notes that the increase in power would result in a change of the CFMH-FM status from a low-power unprotected service to a regular Class A1 service.
|
|
|
The licensee advised that it wishes to secure its frequency to a protected status and to resolve interference problems its station has been experiencing from the new station CFRK-FM Fredericton, New Brunswick operating on 92.3 MHz (channel 222C1) which is owned by Newcap Inc. (Newcap).
|
|
|
The licensee also reminded the Commission that during the licensing process for Newcap's new FM station, Newcap committed to resolve any interference issue that CFMH-FM would experience with the installation of its station.
|
|
|
In Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2004-522, 26 November 2004, authorizing the new FM station at Fredericton, New Brunswick to Newcap, the Commission noted Newcap's commitment to resolve any interference problem to CFMH-FM's signal.

Grande Prairie, Alberta
Application No. 2007-0060-1
|
|
|
Application by Bear Creek Broadcasting Ltd. (Bear Creek) to amend the authority for the radio programming undertaking approved in Classic Rock/Classic Hits FM radio station in Grande Prairie, Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2006-621, 15 November 2006.
|
|
|
The applicant proposes to amend the authority by changing the frequency from 103.3 MHz (channel 277C1) to 98.9 MHz (channel 255C1).
|
|
|
The applicant also proposes to change the authorized contours byincreasing the antenna height and by relocating the transmitter (non-directional antenna/antenna height 266.4 metres).
|
|
|
The Commission notes that there will be no significant change to the authorized contours resulting from the proposed technical changes.
|
|
|
The applicant advised that the originally authorized transmitter site, which is owned by the CBC, is old and there is some question as to whether it can withstand the addition of a new antenna. Therefore, Bear Creek has entered into an agreement with Jim Pattison Broadcast Group (Pattison) to use its transmission tower which is relatively new and will structurally support a broadband antenna system. Bear Creek also advised that the change of frequency is part of the agreement with Pattison and is requested in order to technically support the move.
