CHOR Summerland – Conversion to FM band

1. The Commission approves the application by Astral Media Radio (Toronto) Inc. and 4382072 Canada Inc., partners in a general partnership carrying on business as Astral Media Radio G.P. (Astral), for a broadcasting licence to operate a new English‑language commercial FM radio programming undertaking in Summerland, British Columbia to replace its AM station CHOR. The terms and conditions of licence are set out in the appendix to this decision. The Commission received interventions in support of this application.

2. The new station will operate on frequency 98.5 MHz (channel 253A) with an average effective radiated power (ERP) of 20 watts (maximum ERP of 100 watts with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of 348 metres). It will offer a mainstream Adult Contemporary music format targeting adults aged 18 to 54. The local programming will include 12 hours and 24 minutes of spoken word programming each broadcast week,
including 3 hours and 25 minutes of pure news.

Simulcast period and revocation of AM licence
6. As set out in the appendix to this decision, the licensee is authorized to simulcast the programming of the new FM station on CHOR 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 broadcasting licence for CHOR effective at the end of the simulcast period.
