CHAI-FM Châteauguay – New transmitter in Candiac
|
|
1. |
The Commission approves the
application by Radio communautaire de Châteauguay CHAI-MF (Radio
communautaire de Châteauguay) to amend the broadcasting licence of
French-language Type B community radio programming undertaking CHAI-FM
Châteauguay to authorize it to operate a synchronous transmitter in
Candiac. |
|
2. |
The new transmitter will operate at 101.9
MHz (channel 270A1) with an average effective radiated power of 47
watts. |
|
3. |
Radio communautaire de Châteauguay noted
that with the new transmitter it will be able to serve most of the
population in the territory of the regional county municipality (RCM) of
Roussillon located in the communities of Mercier, Delson, Candiac,
Laprairie, St-Constant and Ste-Catherine, and that its potential
audience will increase from 53,000 to 91,000. |
|
4. |
The Commission received several
interventions in support of the application. The Association des
radiodiffuseurs communautaires du Québec noted that several
municipalities in the Roussillon RCM currently do not have a local
community radio station. |
|
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, no licence may
be issued until the Department notifies the Commission that its
technical requirements have been met, and that a broadcasting
certificate will be issued. |
