[IRCA] Application of CKDH-900 Amherst NS to move to FM - postponed

[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The application to move CKDH-900 Amherst NS to FM, which was
to be considered at the CRTC hearing starting today (Dec 16), will  
instead be considered
at a hearing starting Jan 26 of next year. It seems that the CRTC  
goofed when they
published the notice - the correct FM frequency is 101.7 MHz (18.7  
kW, 32 metres)
not 107.1 MHz as indicated in the Oct 17 notice.

Preamble for item 40

This application will be considered, subject to interventions, in the  
non-appearing phase
of the public hearing. The Commission will consider the interventions  
and replies relating
to this application already placed on the public file for  
Broadcasting Notice of Public
Hearing CRTC 2008-13.
40.
Amherst, Nova Scotia
Application No. 2008-0816-5

Application by Maritime Broadcasting System Limited to convert the  
radio station
CKDH Amherst from the AM band to the FM band.

The new station would operate on frequency 101.7 MHz (channel 269B)  
with an average

the end of the simulcast period.
