OTTAWA – Bracebridge and Gravenhurst , ON could soon have a new radio station after the CRTC issued a call for comments on market capacity and on the appropriateness of issuing a call for radio applications to serve those areas.
The Commission said Tuesday that it issued the call after receiving an application from Owen Sound-based Bayshore Broadcasting Corporation for a new commercial mainstream music station in that market. The Bracebridge and Gravenhurst area is currently served by CFBG-FM Bracebridge, an English-language commercial radio station operated by Vista Radio Ltd.
Interventions are due by March 26 and the deadline to file replies is April 7, 2015. Following receipt of comments, the CRTC said that it will conduct an assessment of the market’s capacity to support an additional station, taking into account economic and financial data as well as the comments received in the public consultation.
