[IRCA] Application of CKKW-1090 Kitchener ON to move to FM approved by CRTC



The CRTC has approved the application of CKKW-1090 Kitchener ON to
move to FM (99.5 MHz, 2.1 kW). With only 2.1 kW on FM their service area
will be small compared to what it presently is ( I am very familiar with
this station as I lived in the Kitchener-Waterloo area for several
years)

CKKW Kitchener – Conversion to FM band
1.
The Commission approves the application by CTV Limited (CTV) for a broadcasting licence to operate a new English-language commercial FM radio programming undertaking in Kitchener, Ontario, to replace its AM station CKKW. The terms and conditions of
licence are set out in the appendix to this decision.
2.
The Commission received numerous interventions in support of this application.
3.
The proposed FM station will continue to broadcast an Oldies music format targeting adults between the ages of 40 and 64. Approximately 124 hours per broadcast week will be devoted to local programming. The station will broadcast seven hours and 50 minutes of spoken word programming per broadcast week, including one hour and
39 minutes of news.
6.
As set out in the appendix to this decision, the licensee is authorized to simulcast the programming of the new FM station on CKKW 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 CKKW effective at the end of the simulcast period.

The station will operate at 99.5 MHz (channel 258B1) with an average effective
radiated power of 2,100 watts.
