CBCV-FM Victoria – New FM transmitter at Tahsis

1. The Commission approves the application by the Canadian  
Broadcasting Corporation (CBC)

to amend the broadcasting licence for the radio programming  
undertaking CBCV-FM Victoria in

order to operate a low-power FM transmitter at Tahsis, British  
Columbia. The new FM transmitter

will replace the licensee’s AM transmitter CBXP Tahsis. The  
Commission did not receive any

interventions in connection with this application. The implementation  
is subject to the notification

by the Department of Industry (the Department) discussed in paragraph  
5 below.

2. The new transmitter will operate at 90.5 MHz (channel 213LP) with  
an effective radiated

power of 46.5 watts (non-directional antenna with an effective height  
of antenna above average

terrain of -209.0 metres).

3. The CBC submitted that this change is necessary because the new  
landlord of the current site

for the AM transmitter CBXP has advised the licensee that the present  
lease would not be renewed.

It decided to replace its AM transmitter with a new low-power FM  
transmitter in order to maintain

its present Radio One coverage to Tahsis.

4. The licensee is authorized, by condition of licence, to simulcast  
the programming of CBCV-FM

on the new FM transmitter and on CBXP for a transition period of  
three months following the commencement

of operations of the FM transmitter. Pursuant to sections 9(1)(e) and  
24(1) of the Broadcasting Act

(the Act), and consistent with the licensee’s request, the Commission  
revokes the licence for CBXP

effective at the end of the simulcast period.
