Wainwright, Alberta
Application No. 2008-0545-0

Application by 3937844 Canada Inc., a subsidiary of Newcap Inc., to  
convert radio station
CKKY Wainwright from the AM band to the FM band.

The new station would operate on frequency 101.9 MHz (channel 270C1)  
with an effective
radiated power of 100,000 watts (non-directional antenna /antenna  
height of 163.4 metres).

The licensee is requesting permission to simulcast the programming of  
the new FM station
on CKKY Wainwright for a period of 3 months from the date of  
implementation of the new FM station.

The licensee is also requesting, pursuant to sections 9(1)(e) and 24 
(1) of the
Broadcasting Act, the revocation of the licence of CKKY Wainwright  
effective at
the end of the simulcast period.

This station has a fair but not great daytime signal here in Calgary  
during the
daytime, and night they can usually be heard mixing with WCCO. CKKY  
carries the
Edmonton Oilers (NHL) hockey games and WCCO is the flagship for the  
Minnesota Wild
so here at night one can often listen to two games at the same time.  
Gets interesting when
Edmonton is playing Minnesota:)

73,
