CHRY-FM Toronto – Technical changes
|
| 1. |
The Commission approves the
application by CHRY Community Radio Incorporated to change the
authorized contours of the community-based campus radio programming
undertaking CHRY-FM Toronto, by increasing the effective radiated power
(ERP) from 50 watts to an average ERP of 158 watts, and by increasing
the antenna height. |
| 2. |
The licensee submitted that the proposed
technical changes will improve the quality of CHRY-FM’s signal. In the
licensee’s view, this improvement will lead to greater community
involvement in CHRY-FM. |
| 3. |
The Commission received many interventions
in support of this application. |
| 4. |
The Commission notes that the increase in
power will change CHRY-FM’s status from that of a low-power unprotected
service to a regular Class A1 service. |
| 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. |
