CALL FOR APPLICATIONS TO PROVIDE RADIO SERVICE
TO TORONTO TO FOLLOW NON-COMMERCIAL
RADIO REVIEW
OTTAWA-HULL — The CRTC today announced that it will issue a call for
applications to provide radio service to Toronto, once it has concluded with the review of
Commission policies affecting non-commercial radio (Public Notice CRTC 1998-85).
In Order in Council PC 1998-800, dated 7 May 1998, the Commission was asked to
reserve frequency 93.5 MHz or any other appropriate frequency on the FM band and
frequency 740 kHz on the AM band, in Toronto.
While the Commission recognizes that a call for applications in this market would
likely generate a great deal of interest, we consider that such a step would be premature
until the radio reviews have been completed.
The Commission expects to conclude these reviews in the spring of 1999, at which time a
call would be issued.
