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.



73,
