Applicant and Locality

1. Moncton,
Application No. 2009-1665-3

Application by Houssen Broadcasting Ltd. to amend the broadcasting licence of the low-power English-language FM radio programming undertaking CKOE-FM Moncton.

The licensee proposes to change the authorized contours by increasing the maximum effective radiated power (ERP) from 50 watts to 4,500 watts (non-directional antenna with an effective height of the antenna above average terrain of 112 metres).

The licensee indicated that it wished to increase the quality of the signal of the station and that a change in the station's status from unprotected low-power to protected status, which would result from the increase in ERP, would ensure continuity of the station' service and contribute to its viability.

Licensee's address:

2. Mississauga, Ontario
Application No. 2009-1736-2

Application by 1760791 Ontario Inc. to amend the broadcasting licence of the commercial ethnic radio programming undertaking CINA Mississauga.

The licensee proposes to change the authorized contour by increasing the authorized transmitter power from 1,000 watts to 5,000 watts day time. The night-time power would remain at 680 watts and all other technical parameters would remain unchanged.

The licensee submitted that the changes would significantly improve day-time coverage in Mississauga, resulting in a better quality signal to listeners located in the western and south-western parts of its licensed area who are currently experiencing poor reception of CINA Mississauga.

The intervention must be received by the Commission and by the applicant on or before the above-mentioned date. The Commission cannot be held responsible for postal delays and will not notify a party whose intervention is received after the deadline date. The intervention will not be considered by the Commission and will not be part of the public file.

Interventions will be considered by the Commission and will form part of the public record of the proceeding without further notification to intervening parties, provided the procedure set out below has been followed. Parties will be contacted only if their submissions raise procedural questions.

A true copy must be sent to the applicant, and proof that this has been done must accompany the intervention sent to the Commission.

The Commission advises those who file and serve by electronic mode to exercise caution when using e-mail for service of documents or notification, as it may be difficult to establish that service has occurred.

Parties must ensure that, before initiating service through electronic mode, they will be able to satisfy the Commission, upon request, that service of the notification was completed.

Submissions longer than five pages should include a summary.

Each paragraph of the submission should be numbered. In addition, where the intervention is filed by electronic means, the line ***End of document*** should be entered following the last paragraph of the document, as an indication that the document has not been damaged during electronic transmission.

Interventions should clearly identify the application referred to and indicate whether parties support or oppose the application, or, if they propose changes to it, include the facts and grounds for their proposal.

Important notice

All information that parties provide as part of this public process, except information granted confidentiality, whether sent by postal mail, facsimile, e-mail or through the Commission's website at www.crtc.gc.ca, becomes part of a publicly accessible file and will be posted on the Commission's website. This information includes personal information, such as full names, e-mail addresses, postal/street addresses, telephone and facsimile numbers, and any other personal information parties provide.
