CHCH to change channels, boost power

OTTAWA – The CRTC has approved CHCH’s request to use a new replacement UHF digital television transmitter, specifically the one formerly used by Toronto 1/Sun News Toronto. The Channel Zero-owned over-the-air TV broadcaster said in its application to the Commission that the new replacement digital transmitter operating on CH15 will boost its coverage and help it regain viewers who previously tuned to its CH18 transitional DTV channel which was shut down in August as part of the digital transition. The Commission agreed and granted the change in a decision issued Friday. www.crtc.gc.ca www.chch.com
