The Commission approves the application by Frank Torres, on behalf of a corporation to be incorporated, to change the authorized contours of its unlaunched FM radio programming undertaking in Georgina, Ontario, approved in Licensing of a new radio station to serve Georgina, Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2018-238, 11 July 2018 (Broadcasting Decision 2018-238), by increasing the average effective radiated power (ERP) from 6,780 to 8,804 watts (maximum ERP from 26,000 to 39,000 watts) and by decreasing the effective height of the antenna above average terrain from 56.1 to 41.6 meters.
