with the following condition:

Abbotsford, British Columbia
Application No. 2007-0808-4
|
|
|
Application by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) to amend the licence of the radio programming undertaking CBU Vancouver, British Columbia.
|
|
|
The licensee proposes to add an FM transmitter at Abbotsford to broadcast its programming service Radio One originating from CBU Vancouver in order to adequately serve the population of Abbotsford.
|
|
|
The transmitter would operate on frequency 101.7 MHz (channel 269A) with an average effective radiated power of 67 watts (maximum effective radiated power 316 watts/effective antenna height of 150.4 metres).
|
|
|
The CBC indicates that the signal of its station CBU Vancouver is deficient in Abbotsford and the proposed FM transmitter would provide a more reliable service in Abbotsford and the surrounding areas.
|
|
|
The CBC also indicates that this transmitter was previously approved by the Commission in Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2004-404, 7 September 2004 (Decision CRTC 2004-404).
|
|
|
In its decision, the Commission stated the following:
|
|
|
The transmitter must be operational at the earliest possible date and in any event no later than 24 months from the date of this decision, unless a request for an extension of time is approved by the Commission before 7 September 2006.
|
|
|
The CBC did not get the transmitter operational by the 7 September 2006 and omitted to request an extension of time to implement it.
|
|
|
Consequently, the authority contained in Decision CRTC 2004-404 became null and void as of 7 September 2006.
|
|
|
The CBC confirms its intention to proceed with this undertaking and has therefore filed this application.
