CIRA-FM Montréal – New transmitter in Gatineau

1.

The Commission approves the application by Radio Ville-Marie to amend  
the broadcasting licence

for the French-language specialty FM radio programming undertaking  
CIRA-FM Montréal in order to

operate an AM transmitter in Gatineau, Quebec. The Commission  
received interventions in support of this application.

2.

The new transmitter will operate at 1350 kHz with a daytime  
transmitter power of 1,000 watts
and a night-time transmitter power of 180 watts.

3.
The licensee indicated that the addition of the transmitter in  
Gatineau will allow
it to respond to the requests for the service from that region’s  
population.
4.
The Commission reminds the licensee that pursuant to section 22(1) of  
the Broadcasting Act,
this authority will only be effective when the Department of Industry  
notifies the Commission
that its technical requirements have been met and that a broadcasting  
certificate will be issued.
5.
The transmitter must be operational at the earliest possible date and  
in any event no later
than 24 months from the date of this decision, unless a request for  
an extension of time is
approved by the Commission before 23 September 2011. In order to  
ensure that such a request
is processed in a timely manner, it should be submitted in writing at  
least 60 days before that date.

73,
