CJWI Montréal – Technical change
The Commission approves an application by CPAM Radio Union.com inc.
to amend the
broadcasting licence for the French-language ethnic commercial AM
radio station
Montréal by changing the frequency from 1610 kHz (class C) to 1410
kHz (class B),
modifying the authorized contours by increasing the transmitter
power from 1,000
to 10,000 watts day and night, and by relocating its antenna to
another site. The
implementation is subject to the notification by the Department of
Industry discussed
in paragraph 11 below.
Introduction
1. The Commission received an application by CPAM Radio Union.com
inc. (CPAM) to amend
the broadcasting licence for the French-language ethnic commercial AM
radio programming
undertaking CJWI Montréal by changing the frequency from 1610 kHz
(class C) to 1410 kHz
(class B), by modifying the authorized contours by increasing the
transmitter power from
1,000 to 10,000 watts day and night, and by relocating its antenna to
another site.
2. The licensee indicated that listeners in certain areas,
specifically downtown Montréal
and Montréal’s north and south shores, are having difficulty
receiving the existing AM signal.
3. CPAM explained that during the past two years, an AM radio station
from Toronto broadcasting
on the same frequency has become a source of sky wave interference,
particularly at night.
Moreover, since CJWI’s target audience has moved to the Montréal
suburbs, the proposed technical
changes would allow it to remedy the interference problem and provide
a higher quality signal to its audience.
