CBRT Calgary and CBXT Edmonton – New transmitters
|
|
1. |
The Commission approves the applications
by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) to amend the broadcasting
licences for the television programming undertakings CBRT Calgary and CBXT
Edmonton, in order to operate transmitters in Lake Louise and Fort Chipewyan. |
|
2. |
The transmitters will operate as follows:

(watts) |

| CBRT-4 |
Lake Louise |

| CBXBT |

8.9 |

|
|
3. |
The Commission did not receive any interventions
in connection with these applications. |
|
4. |
The Commission notes that the above-noted
transmitters are currently operated by the CBC as radiocommunication
distribution undertakings (RDUs), which rebroadcast the programming of the
CBC Northern Television Service. |
|
5. |
The CBC has advised that improvements in
satellite feed technology now enable it to provide viewers in Lake Louise
with the full programming schedule of CBRT Calgary and viewers in Fort
Chipewyan with the full programming schedule of CBXT Edmonton. The CBC noted
that it is therefore no longer necessary to hold separate RDU licences for
these transmitters, and has asked that the licences be revoked. |
|
6. |
Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to
sections 9(1)(e) and 24 (2) of the Broadcasting Act, revokes the
broadcasting licences issued to the CBC with respect to the above-noted RDUs. |
