CHOR Summerland – Conversion to FM band

1.      The Commission approves the application by Astral Media Radio

and 4382072 Canada Inc., partners in a general partnership carrying  
on business as Astral

new English‑language
commercial FM radio programming undertaking in Summerland, British  
Columbia to replace
its AM station CHOR. The terms and conditions of licence are set out  
in the appendix
to this decision. The Commission received interventions in support of  
this application.

2.      The new station will operate on frequency 98.5 MHz (channel  
253A) with an average
effective radiated power (ERP) of 20 watts (maximum ERP of 100 watts  
with an effective
