Application by Jim Pattison Broadcast Group Ltd. (the general partner) and Jim Pattison Industries Ltd. (the limited partner), carrying on business as Jim Pattison Broadcast Group Limited Partnership, for a broadcasting licence to operate a new commercial FM station in Vancouver.
Already this sounds very much Jim Pattison "Staff will be encouraged to walk, cycle or use transit to work" On his proposed wages, who could afford to drive.
As understand it, CKBD (AM 600) is being flipped to 100.5 as The Peak.
The Commission gave Pattison the 100.5 spot because any adjacent channel interference problems with 100.3 the Q in Victoria (also a Pattison station) will be kept "in house."
D'ya suppose the end of AM600 will also end Dave McCormick's career? Or will he be handed a spot at JR Country?
"as well as the application by Matthew Gordon McBride, on behalf of a corporation to"
wooooooo....... is that Matt McBride ex of 97 KISS FM back in the 90s? He did the Saturday Night Dance Party back then! Same Matthew? Graduate of BCIT?
He later went to Z 95 did he not?
Fascinating. Absolutely fascinating. And I thought a Retractable Roof on BC Place was a big deal...
Hahahahahaha.... The Peak!!! OK, this is the EXACT LOGO that Corus had for 107.3 The Peak in Calgary before they flipped to Q107 a few years back.
This will make a nice assortment in their basket - much like their brand "The River" in Prince George. Coincidence that their is a "River" in both Kamloops and Lethbridge owned by other companies who kicked their butts for years?
Yup, good to see the CRTC is granting applications to those who bring original ideas to radio, LOL!!!

After reading the rest of what the CRTC had to say...it seems like all three stations are going with the Triple A format. Won't that be a bit hard on everybody? I wish them all the best. But really?....all triple A's? What was the CRTC thinking?
I know Matthew and I know of Pattison...anyone have details on the third? Where are they from, who are they etc...I have a lovely cheese and cracker platter I would like to send them...in case this 95Crave thing doesn't work out for me
