CBAX-FM Halifax - New transmitter in Yarmouth
|
1. |
The Commission approves the
application by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to amend the
broadcasting licence for the radio programming undertaking CBAX-FM
Halifax, in order to operate a transmitter in Yarmouth. |
2. |
The licensee proposed to add an FM
transmitter in Yarmouth to broadcast the programming of CBAX-FM Halifax
in order to serve the population of Yarmouth. The new transmitter will
operate at 106.1 MHz (channel 291B) with an average effective radiated
power of 20,500 watts. |
3. |
The Commission did not receive any
interventions in connection with this application. |
4. |
The Department of Industry (the Department)
has advised the Commission that, while this application is conditionally
technically acceptable, it will only issue a broadcasting certificate
when it has determined that the proposed technical parameters will not
create any unacceptable interference with aeronautical NAV/COM services. |
5. |
The Commission reminds the licensee that,
pursuant to section 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act, this authority
will only be effective when the Department notifies the Commission that
its technical requirements have been met, and that a broadcasting
certificate will be issued. |
6. |
The transmitter must be operational at the
earliest possible date and in any event no later than 24 months from the
date of this decision, unless a request for an extension of time is
approved by the Commission before 1 September 2007. In order to ensure
that such a request is processed in a timely manner, it should be
submitted in writing at least 60 days before that date. |
