The Commission approves the application by TVA Group Inc. to change the authorized contours of the television programming undertaking CFCM-DT Québec, Quebec, by relocating the transmitter site, changing the antenna’s radiation pattern from directional to non-directional, decreasing the maximum effective radiated power (ERP) from 210,000 to 80,000 watts and the average ERP from 122,500 to 80,000 watts, and increasing the effective height of the antenna above average terrain from 117.1 to 174.6 metres. The Commission did not receive any interventions regarding this application.
