The Commission approves the application for a technical amendment for CIKR-FM Kingston, by increasing the effective radiated power from 4,200 watts to 24,000 watts.

In Decision CRTC 2000-392, which licensed the station, the Commission authorized the licensee to broadcast with an effective radiated power of 24,000 watts from a new tower that was to be constructed on Wolfe Island, south of Kingston. Upon licensing, the licensee, however, abandoned the plan for a new tower and, instead, implemented a temporary operation by co-siting the transmitter at the existing CKWS-TV site (which is also located on Wolfe Island) at the reduced power of 4,200 watts.

The authority granted in this decision reflects the "as-built" transmitting facility for a permanent operation of the radio station.
