Application No. 2007-1748-1 |
| |
Application by Harvard Broadcasting Inc. (Harvard) to amend the licence of the commercial English-language radio programming undertaking CFWD-FM Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. |
| |
Harvard proposes to amend the licence by changing the frequency from 92.3 MHz (channel 222C1) to 96.3 MHz (channel 242C1). |
| |
Harvard also proposes to change the authorized contours by decreasing the effective radiated power from 100,000 watts to 96,000 watts (non-directional antenna/effective antenna height 179.1 metres). |
| |
Harvard advises that the proposed changes to its authorized technical parameters approved in Decision CRTC 2007-155, 28 May 2007, will serve as a pre-emptive action to avoid potential 3rd adjacency interference in Saskatoon. |
| |
In addition, Harvard refers to Industry Canada's consideration of new rules that would require stations using 3rd adjacent frequencies to be co-sited or near co-sited. Accordingly, the licensee anticipates that its current site location of CFWD-FM might not meet the new 3 rd adjacent rules. |
