CJCH Halifax - Conversion to FM band

The Commission approves an application by CTV Limited (CTV) for a  
broadcasting licence to operate
a new English-language FM radio programming undertaking in Halifax to  
replace its AM station CJCH,
subject to CTV’s sale of its voting interest in Metro Radio Group  
Inc., the licensee of CKUL-FM Halifax.

Introduction
1.
CTV Limited (CTV) filed an application for a broadcasting licence to  
operate a new English-language
commercial FM radio programming undertaking in Halifax, Nova Scotia  
to replace its AM station CJCH.
The proposed FM station would operate at 101.3 MHz (channel 267C1)  
with an effective radiated
power of 100,000 watts.
2.
CTV indicated that the new FM station would continue to operate  
within an oldies musical format
targeted to adults between the ages of 35 and 64. Approximately 8  
hours of the broadcast week would
be devoted to local spoken word programming including news, sports,  
traffic and weather as well as
entertainment information and event reports. In each broadcast week,  
the station would air just over
one hour of news, of which a minimum of 50% would be local.
12.
As set out in the appendix to this decision, the licensee is  
authorized to simulcast the programming
of the new FM station on CJCH for a transition period of three months  
following the commencement
of operations of the FM station,  or for any other period granted by  
the Commission subsequent to
the submission of an application.  Pursuant to sections 9(1)(e) and 24 
(1) of the Broadcasting Act,
and consistent with the licensee’s request, the Commission revokes  
the licence for CJCH effective
at the end of the simulcast period.

73,
