[IRCA] Application of CKKW-1090 Kitchener ON to move to FM approved by CRTC

[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The CRTC has approved the application of CKKW-1090 Kitchener ON to
move to FM (99.5 MHz, 2.1 kW).  With only 2.1 kW on FM their service  
area
will be small compared to what it presently is ( I am very familiar with
this station as I lived in the Kitchener-Waterloo area for several
years)

CKKW Kitchener – Conversion to FM band
1.
The Commission approves the application by CTV Limited (CTV) for a  
broadcasting
licence to operate a new English-language commercial FM radio  
programming undertaking
in Kitchener, Ontario, to replace its AM station CKKW. The terms and  
conditions of
licence are set out in the appendix to this decision.
2.
The Commission received numerous interventions in support of this  
application.
3.
The proposed FM station will continue to broadcast an Oldies music  
format targeting
adults between the ages of 40 and 64. Approximately 124 hours per  
broadcast week
will be devoted to local programming. The station will broadcast  
seven hours and
50 minutes of spoken word programming per broadcast week, including  
one hour and
39 minutes of news.
6.
As set out in the appendix to this decision, the licensee is  
authorized to simulcast
the programming of the new FM station on CKKW for a transition period  
of three months
following the commencement of operations of the FM station. 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 CKKW effective at the end of  
the simulcast period.

The station will operate at 99.5 MHz (channel 258B1) with an average  
effective
radiated power of 2,100 watts.

73,
