[IRCA] Shuffling the CRTCpaperwork on the CBU-690 Vancouver BC story

[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The following application is to make official what we all know -
CBU-690 Vancouver BC will remain on the air, with a new Vancouver FM  
transmitter
on 88.1 MHz, 8.9 kW, 567.2 meters:

<http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Notices/2008/pb2008-59.htm>

Vancouver, British Columbia
Application No. 2008-0840-5

Application by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) to amend  
the licence
of the radio programming undertaking CBU Vancouver, British Columbia.

The licensee proposes to add an FM transmitter at Vancouver to  
broadcast its
programming service Radio One originating from CBU Vancouver in order  
to adequately
serve the population of Vancouver.

The transmitter would operate on the frequency 88.1 MHz (channel  
201C) with an
average effective radiated power of 8,900 watts (maximum effective  
radiated power
19,500 watts/effective antenna height of 567.2 metres).

The Commission notes that it approved in part an application for an  
FM radio
programming undertaking at Vancouver in Broadcasting Decision CRTC  
2008-117,
Licensing of new radio stations to serve the Vancouver radio market  
(Decision
2008-117). As part of the decision, the Commission denied the CBC’s  
request
to operate an FM transmitter on Gabriola Island as well as the  
application
to amend the broadcasting licence for CBCV-FM Victoria, to add an FM  
transmitter to serve Nanaimo.

The Commission further decided that the CBC should maintain the  
operation
of its AM frequency in Vancouver to ensure effective coverage in  
outlying areas.

The proposed technical parameters would be the same as those authorized
in Decision CRTC 2008-117.

The CBC is seeking to amend the authority for the radio programming  
undertaking
granted in Decision 2008-117, into a transmitter of CBU Vancouver.
The CBC would maintain the AM undertaking CBU and add an FM transmitter
to address coverage deficiencies in Vancouver.
