[IRCA] Move of CJOY-1460 Guelph ON to FM DENIED by CRTC

[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The move of CJOY-1460 Guelph ON to FM has been denied
by the CRTC, along with applications for new FM stations
by other parties:

<http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2009/2009-31.htm>

Proposed conversion of CJOY to FM

12.
The Commission notes that the proposed conversion of the existing AM  
station CJOY
to the FM band would have a minimal impact on the Guelph radio  
market, given 591989’s
presence as the sole commercial radio operator in the market.  
Further, 591989 made a
commitment to maintain CJOY’s current Gold/Oldies music format on the  
new FM station.
13.
The Commission also notes, however, that 591989’s application for the  
proposed conversion
was based, in part, on the expectation that the Commission would  
license one or more new
radio stations on the FM band in Guelph as a result of the call.  
Since the Commission
has decided not to issue a new licence to serve the Guelph radio  
audience, the Commission
is therefore of the view that 591989’s proposed conversion is not  
warranted at this time.

73,

Deane McIntyre VE6BPO
