The following application is to make official what we all know -
CBU-690 Vancouver BC will remain on the air, with a new Vancouver FM
transmitter
on 88.1 MHz, 8.9 kW, 567.2 meters:
<http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Notices/2008/pb2008-59.htm>
Vancouver, British Columbia
Application No. 2008-0840-5
Application by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) to amend
the licence
of the radio programming undertaking CBU Vancouver, British Columbia.
The licensee proposes to add an FM transmitter at Vancouver to
broadcast its
programming service Radio One originating from CBU Vancouver in order
to adequately
serve the population of Vancouver.
The transmitter would operate on the frequency 88.1 MHz (channel
201C) with an
average effective radiated power of 8,900 watts (maximum effective
radiated power
19,500 watts/effective antenna height of 567.2 metres).
The Commission notes that it approved in part an application for an
FM radio
programming undertaking at Vancouver in Broadcasting Decision CRTC
2008-117,
Licensing of new radio stations to serve the Vancouver radio market
(Decision
2008-117). As part of the decision, the Commission denied the CBC’s
request
to operate an FM transmitter on Gabriola Island as well as the
application
to amend the broadcasting licence for CBCV-FM Victoria, to add an FM
transmitter to serve Nanaimo.
The Commission further decided that the CBC should maintain the
operation
of its AM frequency in Vancouver to ensure effective coverage in
outlying areas.
The proposed technical parameters would be the same as those authorized
in Decision CRTC 2008-117.
The CBC is seeking to amend the authority for the radio programming
undertaking
granted in Decision 2008-117, into a transmitter of CBU Vancouver.
The CBC would maintain the AM undertaking CBU and add an FM transmitter
to address coverage deficiencies in Vancouver.
