OTTAWA – The CRTC will set up shop at a Toronto hotel in November to consider new radio applications vying to serve Ontario’s Grimsby/Beamsville region as well as the town of Georgina.
The Commission said Thursday that it will hold a hearing beginning November 27 at the Holiday Inn Toronto Yorkdale to consider applications from Dufferin Communications, Durham Radio and Byrnes Communications seeking broadcasting licences for radio stations to serve Grimsby and Beamsville.
It will also review applications from My Broadcasting Corporation, Frank Torres, and Radio Markham York to serve the south-central Ontario market of Georgina with a new radio station.
The Regulator also said that it would consider an application by Byrnes Communications for authority to acquire the assets of the English-language commercial radio stations CJED-FM Niagara Falls and CFLZ-FM Fort Erie from Vista Radio; an application by 2044577 Alberta Ltd. for authority to acquire the assets of the unlaunched English-language commercial radio station CKOV-FM Strathmore from Clear Sky Radio Inc.; and an application by Kenneth Collin Brown for authority to acquire the assets of the low-power, English-language commercial radio station CHLW-FM Barriere from Stephen Guay.
