GATINEAU – Having received a radio station licence application for one of the last known available frequencies in Ajax, Ont., the CRTC (as is its policy), opened a consultation on whether a new radio station in the community of 121,000 in Durham region, just east of Toronto (sandwiched between Pickering and Whitby) is a good idea.
The applicant is a numbered company which wants to launch a Commercial Ethnic FM radio station at 91.7 MHz (channel 219A) with an average effective radiated power (ERP) of 880 watts (maximum ERP of 2,000 watts).
Those wishing to intervene have until February 10 to do so. Click here for the CRTC notice.
Once the Regulator decides whether or not the market can support another station, only then might it open a call for other applications.
