[IRCA] Move of CBRU-1270 Squamish BC to FM (98.3, 1.55 kW) approved by CRTC



The move of CBRU-1270 Squamish BC, which relays CBU-690 Vancouver, to
FM (98.3 MHz, 1.55 kW), has been approved by the CRTC. Note that CBRU  
will
go off the air on July 24 for good, when the FM goes on the air - there
not be the usual three month simulcast period. I was able to log CBRU
here in Calgary AB a few months ago - get them while you can.

CBU Vancouver – New transmitter in Squamish
1.
The Commission approves the application by the Canadian Broadcasting  
Corporation
(CBC) to amend the broadcasting licence for the radio programming  
undertaking CBU
Vancouver in order to operate a transmitter in Squamish to  
rebroadcast the
programming of its national English-language network service Radio One.

2.
The new transmitter will operate at 98.3 MHz (channel 252A) with an  
average
effective radiated power of 1,550 watts.

3.
The Commission did not receive any interventions in connection with this
application.

4.
The CBC stated that the lease for the site of its transmitter CBRU  
Squamish
will terminate 24 July 2006 and that it has been unable to find an  
alternate
location for this transmitter. In the circumstances, the CBC  
concluded that
the addition of an FM transmitter in Squamish would be the best  
technical
and economical solution to the situation.

5.
The CBC also indicated that CBRU will go off the air on 24 July 2006.
After that date, the CBC’s Radio One service will be provided by the
new FM transmitter approved in this decision.
