CJCH-DT Halifax – Deletion of transmitter
- The Commission has the authority, pursuant to subsection 9(1) of the Broadcasting Act, to issue licences for the carrying on of broadcasting undertakings and to amend those licences.
- Consistent with this authority, the Commission approves the application by Bell Media Inc. (Bell Media) to amend the broadcasting licence for the English-language television programming undertaking CJCH-DT Halifax, Nova Scotia, to delete the analog rebroadcasting transmitter CJCH-TV-6 Caledonia, Nova Scotia.
- The Commission did not receive any interventions in regard to this application.
- In its request, Bell Media indicated that the deletion of the rebroadcasting transmitter is necessary because it is damaged and repairing it would incur significant costs. Bell Media also cited a lack of revenue generated from CJCH-TV-6. Bell Media also stated that deleting the transmitter would have limited impact on the availability of CJCH-DT’s programming, which would still be available online and through broadcasting distribution undertakings.
