CBHA-FM Halifax and CBHC-FM Truro – Technical changes

The Commission approves the application by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to change the authorized contours of CBHC-FM Truro, a rebroadcasting transmitter of the English-language radio programming undertaking CBHA-FM Halifax, Nova Scotia (Radio One), by decreasing the effective radiated power (ERP) from 1,170 to 1,150 watts and the effective height of the antenna above average terrain from 138.5 to 137.74 metres. The Commission did not receive any interventions regarding this application.
The licensee stated that the current transmitter is old and must be replaced and that the new transmitter will maintain excellent coverage in the region of Truro and its vicinity.
Pursuant to section 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act, this authority will only be effective when the Department of Industry notifies the Commission that its technical requirements have been met and that a broadcasting certificate will be issued.
The licensee must implement the technical changes by no later than 23 May 2020. To request an extension, the licensee must submit a written request to the Commission at least 60 days before that date, using the form available on the Commission’s website.
