[IRCA] U.S. Punjabi stations broadcasting into Canada
I was reading that the Punjabi stations in Vancouver BC has asked the CRTC to shut down the U.S. based Punjabi stations broadcasting from the WA into Canada. I presume they mean 1110 Oak Harbor, 1550 Ferndale and 1600 Blaine WA. How can the CRTC stop a legally licensed U.S. broadcaster from the signal reaching Canada? Now, I figure they may be able to stop the stations from getting Canadian advertising, but I do not know the laws in Canada in that regard. I remember well the Mexican border blasters sending tons of signal into the U.S. No one stopped those stations. Some are still in English and broadcast to the U.S. CJRJ 1200 is calling the U.S. stations pirates, even though they are legally licensed stations on U.S. soil. Can the CRTC do anything? I do not see anything they can do, unless they have some control on the advertising from Vancouver.

Re: [IRCA] U.S. Punjabi stations broadcasting into Canada
Todd we can certainly add more than a few more Canadians to the list. CKST and CFAC for starters as I don't think either has run night pattern for many years. CKMX has been off again on again when it comes to day pattern at night. Lately it has been bothered here in IL by KGFX running day rig at night! CKWX like CKST is way too easy to get here for listed night pattern. CHRB was running day pattern for many years at night but as of a couple of years ago, they behave much of the time. And there are more from time to time such as CFGO 1200. 73 KAZ -Original Message- From: Forrest Skaine todftscytj7...@gmail.com Sent: Sep 17, 2014 5:45 AM To: IRCA Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Subject: Re: [IRCA] U.S. Punjabi stations broadcasting into Canada Then the CRTC needs to clean up its own backyard and stop the cheaters such as CJGX, CKMX and CKLQ.

Re: [IRCA] U.S. Punjabi stations broadcasting into Canada
Here's the actual notice from the CRTC: http://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2014/2014-426.htm The situation does appear to be covered by Canada's Broadcasting Act so.. Personally, I don't know what all the fuss is about, although rumour is that Shushma Datt's CJRJ/1200 has not exactly been the money tree she expected. As for non-compliance by Canadian stations of technical issues such as day/night patterns, I'd suspect that would come under Industry Canada not the Commish. Someone mentioned CKST/1040: it would be strange for a major outfit like Bell Media not to be following The Rules; only a few years ago, they spent a bundle of money to re-locate (and combine) the facilities for both CKST/1040 and CFTE/1410 to a new site with seven towers.

Re: [IRCA] U.S. Punjabi stations broadcasting into Canada
OK so it was a few years ago when CKST and CTFE combined. It has been several years since they switched to night rig IMO. Perhaps there was an error made when they moved and broken hardware to switch was never fixed. Several years ago they went from never being heard here at my IL QTH to backgrounding WHO on nights when skip is good to the Pac NW. I can tell that they didn't switch on nights when they'd be coming on legally using day pattern prior to Vancouver sunset switch time, when there'd be no reduction in power at or after switch time. .. ie they'd be bothering WHO all night. It is the same situation this month, although cx aren't yet good enough to allow presunset skip to the Pac NW. Note also that high lat. cx were better a couple years ago than they are this year and on really good nights in late Sept and late Oct, stuff like KOMO could be coming in here with WMVP phased down, as much as an hour prior to Seattle's sunset switch time. 73 KAZ Barrington IL Perseus and two element Broadside DKAZ array aimed west -Original Message- From: Theo th...@telus.net Sent: Sep 17, 2014 12:39 PM To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Subject: Re: [IRCA] U.S. Punjabi stations broadcasting into Canada Here's the actual notice from the CRTC: http://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2014/2014-426.htm The situation does appear to be covered by Canada's Broadcasting Act so..

Re: [IRCA] U.S. Punjabi stations broadcasting into Canada
Chuck, So that is it that the companies have everything in Canada except for the transmitting site itself. Now it makes more sense. In reality the stations in question are Canadian stations, but without a Canadian broadcasting license. No wonder they are calling the stations pirate stations. Thanks.

Re: [IRCA] U.S. Punjabi stations broadcasting into Canada
Theo, This is what I wondered, although I do not know the rules in Canada in broadcasting from Canada to a U.S. tx site. But that went on for decades from Mexico to the U.S. The Canadian station I know of that does not drop power seems to be 800 Penticton. I remember hearing them with a booming signal into Alaska back in the 60s. I doubt they were on 500w, even then. CFPR 860 is listed at 1 KW nights, but according to their CE I talked to years ago, they are allowed a full 10 KW ND 24/7. He said it had been that way since he was at CFPR and I got the idea, he had been there for a long time. This was back in the 1980's.
