CKOV Kelowna – Conversion to FM band
1.
The Commission approves the application by Jim Pattison Broadcast
Group Ltd. (the general partner) and Jim Pattison Industries Ltd.
(the limited partner), carrying on business as Jim Pattison Broadcast
Group Limited Partnership (Pattison), for a broadcasting licence to
operate a new English-language FM radio programming undertaking at
Kelowna to replace its AM station CKOV. The terms and
  conditions for the new service are set out in the appendix to this  
decision.
2.
The Commission received one intervention in support of this
application and one comment.
3.
The new station will offer a Soft Vocals music format. It will
continue to offer CKOV’s traditional style of news and information
programming, including Open Line with John Michaels, a daily current
affairs show. The new FM station’s music format and spoken word
programming will target Kelowna listeners in the 35-to-64-year-old  
age group.
8.
As set out in the appendix to this decision, the licensee is  
authorized to
simulcast the programming of the new FM station on CKOV for a transition
period of three months following the commencement of operations of the
FM station. Pursuant to sections 9(1)(e) and 24(1) of the  
Broadcasting Act,
and consistent with the licensee’s request, the Commission revokes the
licence for CKOV effective at the end of the simulcast period.

Issuance of the broadcasting licence to operate an English-language
FM radio programming undertaking in Kelowna

The licence will expire 31 August 2013.

effective
radiated power of 11,000 watts.
