FOUND AMONG THE CRTC NOTICES POSTED MAY 29  Winnipeg, Manitoba Application No. 2007-0701-0 Application by Corus Premium Television Ltd. to amend the licence of the commercial English-language AM radio programming undertaking CJOB Winnipeg, Manitoba. The licensee proposes to add an FM transmitter at Winnipeg to broadcast the programming of CJOB, in order to improve its service to the population of Winnipeg. The transmitter would operate on frequency 106.3 MHz (channel 292C1) with an effective radiated power of 100,000 watts (non-directional antenna/effective antenna height of 223 metres). The licensee advised that a "nested" FM solution is the best means of addressing CJOB’s frequency problems faced by Winnipeg-area listeners both in Winnipeg’s downtown core and in the areas south of the city during evening and night-time hours. In addition, it noted that younger audiences are veering away from the AM band. |
