Pleasant Bay, Nova Scotia
Application No. 2007-0873-7
|
|
|
Application by Atlantic Broadcasters Limited (ABL)to amend the licence of the English-language commercial radio programming undertaking CJFX-FM Antigonish, Nova Scotia.
|
|
|
The licensee proposes to add a low-power FM transmitter atPleasant Bay, Nova Scotia to broadcast the programming of CJFX-FM, in order to serve the population of Pleasant Bay.
|
|
|
The transmitter would operate on frequency 102.5 MHz (channel 273LP) with an effective radiated power of 43.5 watts (non-directional antenna/effective antenna height of 10 metres).
|
|
|
The licensee advises that when the AM station CJFX Antigonish switched to the FM band in 2003, residents of the Pleasant Bay community lost their service and have petitioned ABL to restore coverage to the area. ABL also notes that the mountainous terrain surrounding Pleasant Bay precludes any reception of CJFX-FM Antigonish or its transmitter CJFX-FM-1 in Inverness, Nova Scotia.

This Condition of licence shall expire upon the coming into force of the amendments to the Radio Regulations, 1986 relating to CCD."

Toronto, Ontario
Application No. 2007-0809-2
|
|
|
Application by CIRC Radio Inc. (CIRC Radio) relating to the licence of the ethnic radio programming undertaking CIRV-FM Toronto, Ontario.
|
|
|
The licensee proposes using a Subsidiary Communications Multiplex Operations (SCMO) channel to broadcast predominantly Vietnamese-language programming. Programming broadcast using an SCMO is not accessible with standard radio equipment, and requires the use of a special receiver.
|
|
|
The licensee advises that this SCMO service is currently offered using an SCMO channel of the station CKAV-FM Toronto (formerly CFIE-FM), licensed to Aboriginal Voices Radio Inc., which was approved by the Commission in Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2005-154, 14 April 2005 (Decision 2005-154). The service broadcasts programming produced by Thoi Bao Inc. and by TNVN Radio (Tieng Noi Viet Nam - The Vietnamese Voice). CIRC Radio further mentions that Thoi Bao Inc. experienced difficulty in serving the Vietnamese community in the Greater Toronto area due to the low broadcasting power of CKAV-FM.
|
|
|
CIRC Radio also advises that in the event that this application would be approved by the Commission, the SCMO service approved in Decision 2005-154 will cease operating on CKAV-FM.
