|
Application 2004-0330-4
Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC
2004-57
4 August 2004

|
CHBZ-FM Cranbrook - New transmitter in Fernie
|
1.
|
The Commission
approves
the application by Columbia Kootenay Broadcasting Co. Ltd. to amend the broadcasting licence for the radio programming undertaking CHBZ-FM Cranbrook in order to operate a transmitter in Fernie.
|
2.
|
The new transmitter will operate at 92.7 MHz (channel 224LP) with an effective radiated power of 15 watts.
|
3.
|
The Commission did not receive any interventions in connection with this application.
|
4.
|
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.
|
5.
|
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.
|
6.
|
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 frequency if the Department so requires.
|
7.
|
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 12 November 2006. 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 this date.
