[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The CRTC has approved the application by Radio Chalom for a
new religious AM X-Band station in Montreal QC on 1650 kHz, 1kW
ND from a single 45 degree tower at 45 deg 26'51" N 73 deg 37'57" W:

Religious AM radio station in Montréal

The Commission approves an application by Radio Chalom to
  operate a commercial religious AM radio station in French (60%),
  English (30%) and Hebrew (10%) in Montréal. The proposed station
  will primarily serve Montréal’s Jewish community, replacing the
  service currently offered by Radio Chalom on the subsidiary  
communications
  multiplex operation (SCMO) facilities of CIRA-FM Montréal.

The Commission received an application by Radio Chalom,
  a not-for-profit corporation, for a broadcasting licence
to operate a commercial religious AM radio programming
  undertaking in French (60%), English (30%) and Hebrew (10%)
  in Montréal at 1650 kHz with a transmitter power of 1,000 watts,  
day and night.

The CRTC has also approved the application for a new graveyard station
broadcasting mostly in Arabic in Montreal on 1450 kHz, 1kW, ND
using a 39 degree tower at 45 deg 29' 45" N  73 deg 44' 40"

Ethnic AM radio station in Montréal

The Commission approves an application by 9015-2018
Québec inc. (doing business under the name of Radio Moyen
Orient du Canada) for a broadcasting licence to operate a
new ethnic commercial AM radio station in Montréal. The

--------------------------------------------------

The application for a 5.8 kW daytimer on 650 (ND-D) was denied.
They had proposed 100 hours of local programming per week - pretty
tough for a daytimer! I note however in the Industry Canada database
an allocation for 2.5 kW at night on 650 - perhaps they were planning
to operate at night as well. A moot point as the application was denied.

Religious AM radio station in Montréal

The Commission denies an application for a broadcasting
  licence to operate a French-language religious AM radio
  station in Montréal.


The Commission received an application by André Joly,
  on behalf of a not-for-profit corporation to be incorporated,
  for a broadcasting licence to operate a French-language
  commercial religious AM radio programming undertaking in
Montréal at 650 kHz with a transmitter power of 5,800 watts daytime.
