The applications by the CBC for "nested" FM stations to rebroadcast
CBE-1550 and CBEF-540
in Windsor ON have been approved by the CRTC. The AM stations will
continue
to operate as they do not, but CBE will also be on FM at 102.3 MHz
(690 watts), and CBEF will
also be heard at 105.5 MHz (506 watts).
It was noted that as there are no suitable frequencies available for
high power
FM stations in Windsor, the AM stations will remain on the air to
serve listeners
outside the central Windsor market.

CBE and CBEF Windsor – New transmitters at Windsor
The Commission approves applications by the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation to amend the broadcasting licences for CBE and CBEF Windsor
in order to operate nested FM rebroadcasting transmitters at Windsor.
The applications
1.
The Commission received applications by the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation
(CBC) to amend the broadcasting licences for the AM radio programming
undertakings CBE and CBEF Windsor in order to operate nested1 FM
rebroadcasting
transmitters at Windsor.
2.
The CBC indicated that the proposed FM transmitter for CBE would
operate at
102.3 MHz (channel 272A) with an average effective radiated power
(ERP) of
690 watts, and that the proposed FM transmitter for CBEF would
operate at
105.5 MHz (channel 288A) with an average ERP of 620 watts.
3.
The proposed transmitter of the English-language radio station CBE would
rebroadcast the programming of the CBC’s national, English-language
network service Radio One. The proposed transmitter of the French-
language
radio station CBEF would rebroadcast the programming of the CBC’s
national,
French-language network service La Première Chaîne.
15.
The FM transmitter for CBE will operate at 102.3 MHz (channel 272A) with
an average ERP of 690 watts. The Department has advised the
Commission that,
while the application for this transmitter 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.
16.
The FM transmitter for CBEF will operate at 105.5 MHz (channel 288A).
The Department has advised the Commission that the application for this
transmitter will only be technically acceptable once the CBC submits
a revised technical brief indicating a decrease in the transmitter’s
maximum ERP from 2,940 watts to 2,400 watts and the resulting decrease
in its average ERP from 620 watts to 506 watts. Further, the Department
has advised the Commission that it will only issue a broadcasting
certificate for that transmitter when it has determined that the
revised technical parameters will not create any unacceptable
interference
with aeronautical NAV/COM services.
