CJLM-FM Joliette and CHAA-FM Longueuil – Technical changes

1. The Commission approves the application by Coopérative de radiodiffusion MF 103,5 de Lanaudière to change the authorized contours of the commercial radio programming undertaking CJLM-FM Joliette by increasing the maximum effective radiated power (ERP) from 3,000 to 4,500 watts. All other technical parameters remain unchanged. The Commission did not receive any interventions with respect to this application.
2. The Commission approves the application by Radio communautaire de la Rive-Sud inc. to change the authorized contours of the French-language, Type B community radio programming undertaking CHAA-FM Longueuil by increasing the average ERP from 64 to 340 watts and the maximum ERP from 263 to 1,400 watts.1 All other technical parameters remain unchanged. The Commission did not receive any interventions with respect to this application.
3. The licensees stated that the goal of the proposed ERP increases is to improve the quality of each station's signal in its main authorized service area. The licensees also declared themselves willing to accept any additional interference to their stations' signals caused by the increases in ERP approved in this decision.
4. The Department of Industry (the Department) has advised the Commission that while these applications are conditionally technically acceptable, it will only issue broadcasting certificates when it has determined that the proposed technical parameters will not create any unacceptable interference with aeronautical NAV/COM services.
5. The Commission reminds the licensees that pursuant to section 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act, these authorities will only be effective when the Department notifies the Commission that its technical requirements have been met and that broadcasting certificates will be issued.
