[IRCA] Move of CHNC-610 New Carlisle and CHGM-1150 Gaspe both Quebec to FM approved by CRTC

[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The move of CHNC-610 New Carlisle and its relay CHGM-1150 Gaspe  
Quebec has been
approved by the CRTC. Five FM transmitters are required to duplicate the
coverage of the two AM transmitters:

The station (New Carlisle) will operate at 107.1 MHz (channel 296B1)  
with
an average effective radiated power of 3,800 watts.

The transmitter in Carleton will operate at 99.1 MHz (channel 256B1)  
with
an average effective radiated power of 480 watts.

The transmitter in Chandler will operate at 98.3 MHz (channel 252A) with
an average effective radiated power of 870 watts.

The transmitter in Gaspé will operate at 99.3 MHz (channel 257A) with an
average effective radiated power of 257 watts.

The transmitter in Percé will operate at 107.3 MHz (channel 297B1) with
an average effective radiated power of 426 watts.

The station is requesting a six month simulcast period (longer than
the normal three months) after which the AM licenses would be revoked.

CHNC New Carlisle and its transmitter CHGM Gaspé – Conversion to the FM
band and addition of FM transmitters in Carleton, Chandler and Percé

The Commission approves the application by Radio CHNC ltée for a  
broadcasting
licence to operate a French-language commercial FM radio programming  
undertaking
in New Carlisle, Quebec and to add new FM transmitters in Carleton,  
Chandler,
Gaspé and Percé, Quebec. The new FM station at New Carlisle and the FM
transmitter in Gaspé are to replace the AM station CHNC New Carlisle and
its AM transmitter CHGM Gaspé.

-------------------------------------------
CHNC-610 went on the air in 1933, and I believe was the first station  
in the Gaspe
region of Quebec.
