|
|
|
Application 2005-0304-6
Public Hearing in the National Capital Region
15 August 2005
|
|
|
English-language low-power tourist FM radio station in Wolseley
|
|
1.
|
The Commission approves the application by Kenneth Clarke Odland, on behalf of a corporation to be incorporated, for a broadcasting licence to operate an English-language low-power tourist FM radio programming undertaking in Wolseley, Saskatchewan.
|
|
2.
|
The new station will broadcast a year-round tourist information service consisting of pre-recorded messages promoting tourist attractions and community events. It will also broadcast weather bulletins and forecasts, reports on highway surface conditions and other travel-safety information.
|
|
3.
|
The station will operate at 93.1 MHz (channel 226LP) with an effective radiated power of 43.7 watts.
|
|
4.
|
The Commission received several interventions in support of this application.
|
|
5.
|
The licence will expire 31 August 2012 and will be subject to the conditions set out in the appendix to this decision.
|
|
6.
|
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.
|
|
7.
|
The Commission reminds the applicant that, pursuant to section 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act, no licence may be issued until the Department notifies the Commission that its technical requirements have been met, and that a broadcasting certificate will be issued.
|
|
8.
|
Given that the technical parameters approved in this decision are for a low-power unprotected FM service, the Commission also reminds the applicant that it will have to select another frequency if the Department so requires.
|
|
9.
|
Furthermore, the licence for this undertaking will only be issued once the applicant has:
|
|
|
- satisfied the Commission, with supporting documentation, that an eligible Canadian corporation has been incorporated in accordance with the application in all material respects; and
|
|
|
- informed the Commission in writing that it is prepared to commence operations.
|
|
10.
|
The undertaking 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 20 October 2007. In order to ensure that such a request is processed in a timely manner, it should be submitted at least 60 days before that date.
