CKRU-980 Peterborough ON has applied to the CRTC to move to FM (96.7 MHz, 6 kW, 273.2 meters).
Several applications for new FM stations on 96.7 MHz in Peterborough and area are also before the CRTC, so approval of this move is by no means a given. CKRU was the first station between Toronto and Kingston, going on the air May 1942 as CHEX-1430. <http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Hearings/2007/n2007-14.htm#9> Peterborough, Ontario Application No. 2007-0006-4 Application by 591989 B.C. Ltd. to convert the English-language commercial radio station CKRU Peterborough from the AM band to the FM band. The new station would operate on frequency 96.7 MHz (channel 244C1) with an average effective radiated power of 6,000 watts (maximum effective radiated power of 20,000 watts/antenna height of 273.2 metres). The applicant proposes to maintain CKRU’s current Oldies music format on the proposed FM station. The applicant is also requesting approval to operate under the condition of licence set out in Public Notice CRTC 1998-132 allowing it to broadcast a minimum level of 30% Canadian content in any broadcast week where at least 90% of musical selections from content category 2 that it broadcasts are selections released before 1 January 1981. The applicant is requesting permission to simulcast the programming of the new FM station on CKRU for a period of three months from the date of implementation of the new station. The applicant is also requesting, pursuant to sections 9(1)(e) and 24 (1) of the Broadcasting Act, the revocation of the licence of CKRU effective at the end of the simulcast period. This application requires the issuance of a new licence. 73, Deane McIntyre VE6BPO _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
