The Commission notes that all of the above listed transmitters are presently in operation with the exception of the undertakings at Edmonton and at Fort McMurray which are new undertakings. |
| |
AMMSA filed this application in light of the fact that the operation of these transmitters no longer meets the exemption criteria set out in Exemption Order respecting cetain Native radio undertakings, Public Notice CRTC 1998-62, 9 July 1998. |
| |
Therefore, AMMSA needs to obtain a broadcasting licence to operate the new proposed station in Edmonton, with a new FM transmitter at Fort McMurray, and to persue the operation of the remaining FM transmitters. |
| |
The public examination file will be updated by no later than 31 March 2008. |
| |
The Commission may withdraw this application from the public hearing if it is not advised by the Department of Industry, at least twenty days prior to the hearing, that the application is technically acceptable. |
