The application | |
| 1. | The Commission received an application by Télé Inter-Rives ltée (Télé Inter-Rives) for a broadcasting licence to operate a transitional digital television undertaking associated with CIMT-TV Rivière-du-Loup. The applicant proposed to simulcast the programming aired on CIMT-TV on the new digital station. The Commission did not receive any interventions in connection with this application. |
Commission's analysis and determinations | |
| 2. | In Revised licensing framework for over-the-air digital television services, Broadcasting Regulatory Policy CRTC 2010-69, 10 February 2010 (Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2010-69), the Commission announced that it would no longer issue separate licences for DTV undertakings. Instead, the operation of DTV transmitters would be authorized by way of an amendment to the licences of existing services, authorizing the simulcast, on a digital transmitter, of the programming broadcast by the associated station. |
| 3. | As Télé Inter-Rives intends to simulcast the associated service's programming on the digital transmitter, the Commission is satisfied that this application is in compliance with all applicable terms and conditions set out in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2010-69. |
| 4. | In light of the above, the Commission approves in part the application by Télé Inter-Rives ltée. for a broadcasting licence to operate a transitional digital television undertaking. Pursuant to Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2010-69, the Commission amends the broadcasting licence for the television programming undertaking CIMT-TV Rivière-du-Loup in order to add a digital transmitter in Rivière-du-Loup. |
| 5. | The new transmitter will operate on channel 41B with an effective radiated power of 132 watts (effective height of the antenna above average terrain of 54.8 metres). |
| 6. | The Commission reminds the licensee that, pursuant to section 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act, the licence amendment will not be in effect until the Department of Industry notifies the Commission that its technical requirements have been met and that a broadcasting certificate will be issued. |
| 7. | The transmitter must be operational at the earliest possible date and in any event no later than 31 August 2011, unless otherwise authorized by the Commission. Under Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2010-69, the present authority to operate a transitional DTV transmitter will expire on 31 August 2011, unless otherwise authorized by the Commission. |
