[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The  Pukatawagan MB ( a 40 watt relay of CBWK-FM Thompson MB)
to FM (102.5, 200 watts) has been approved by the CRTC:

<http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/2008/db2008-108.htm>

CBWK-FM – New transmitter at Pukatawagan
1.
The Commission approves the application by the Canadian Broadcasting  
Corporation
(CBC) to amend the broadcasting licence for the English-language  
radio programming
undertaking CBWK-FM Thompson, Manitoba in order to operate an FM  
transmitter at
Pukatawagan to replace its AM transmitter CBDS.
2.
The transmitter will operate at 102.5 MHz (channel 273A1) with an  
effective
radiated power of 200 watts.
3.
The CBC indicated that the FM transmitter is intended to replace its  
existing
AM transmitter CBDS and that recently, the Mathias Colomb Cree  
National Chief
and Council advised the CBC that the CBDS site is contaminated and  
they will
proceed to decontaminate it by June 2008. The CBC stated that the FM  
transmitter
needs to be operational by this date.
4.
The Commission did not receive any interventions in connection with  
this application.
5.
The CBC further advised the Commission that there will be no  
simulcast period.
The licensee must then cease operation of its AM transmitter CBDS  
Pukatawagan.
Pursuant to sections 9(1)(e) and 24(2) of the Broadcasting Act (the  
Act), and
consistent with the CBC’s request, the Commission amends the licence  
of CBWK-FM
Thompson by deleting the AM transmitter CBDS Pukatawagan.
