OTTAWA – The CRTC is taking its show on the road to Calgary early next year to consider a dozen new radio applications vying to serve that market.
The Commission said Wednesday that it has scheduled a hearing on February 6, 2012 beginning at 9:00 am at The Coast Plaza Hotel and Conference Centre located at 1316-33rd Street N. E. in Calgary. Among the new radio proposals for consideration include applications from the likes of Jim Pattison Broadcast Group, Bell Media and Harvard Broadcasting.
In addition, the CRTC will review applications from GlassBox Television for a new television service to be known as Aux 2, one from iLaugh Inc. for a national, English-language television channel called iLaugh TV, and a request from Haliburton Broadcasting Group to buy FM radio stations CJFB-FM Bolton and CFGM-FM Caledon in Ontario from Rick Sargent.
The deadline for interventions is December 9, 2011.
