NICE SUMMARY COURTESY GORD LANSDELL OF 'NORTHWEST BROADCASTERS'
The CRTC will hold a public hearing in Vancouver beginning February 26, 2008 to consider numerous applications for new FM stations to serve the Vancouver market. Most are seeking 104.1 MHz, however there is an application to move CKBD AM 600 to 100.5 MHz, one by the CBC to convert CBU AM 690 Vancouver to 88.1 with a rebroadcaster on Gabriola Island to operate at 98.7, along with new stations on 89.3 and 98.7. There also are applications for new stations in Chilliwack on 89.1, 89.3 and 89.5, and by the CBC for 104.1 in Nanaimo to rebroadcast CBCV-FM 90.5 Victoria. Application by Rogers Broadcasting Limited to acquire the assets of Channel M CHNM-TV/42 Vancouver also will be heard.
wow seems like a lot of people applied for Triple A in Vancouver....seems a little weird to me, to my knowledge there are really only 3 Triple A stations in Canada. Fuel in Calgary, and looking at their ratings books since launch it isn't something I would pattern a station after. Then there's the River in Windsor, haven't seen ratings for them, but they seem to take a little bit of an AC spin on AAA. And then there's the BCIT station Evolution 107.9, which there aren't any ratings for, and is already in the Vancouver market.
I wonder if any of the instructors at BCIT will come out against the Triple A, and the Indie/Emerging guys, as steping on their toes, although not being a commercial radio station I don't see how they could.
