Radio CJVR Ltd.
Melfort, Saskatchewan |
| |
Application 2006-0709-6
Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2006-78
20 June 2006 |

CJVR-FM Melfort – New transmitter in Carrot River
|
|
1. |
The Commission approves the
application by Radio CJVR Ltd. (Radio CJVR) to amend the broadcasting
licence for the radio programming undertaking CJVR-FM Melfort in order
to operate a transmitter in Carrot River. |
|
2. |
The new transmitter will operate at 99.7
MHz (channel 259LP) with an effective radiated power of 44.78 watts.
|
|
3. |
Radio CJVR indicated that although the
current signal reaches the general area of Carrot River, it is sporadic,
and that the new transmitter will improve signal reception for the
residents of this community. |
|
4. |
The Commission did not receive any
interventions in connection with this application. |
|
5. |
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. |
|
6. |
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. |
|
7. |
Given that the technical parameters
approved in this decision are for a low-power unprotected FM service,
the Commission also reminds the licensee that it will have to select
another channel if the Department so requires. |
|
8. |
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 16 August 2008. 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. |
