An article in today's Winnipeg Free Press focuses on APTN's plans for TV expansion into the U.S., but makes mention, in passing, of their efforts to get the old CKAV-FM licenses:
...APTN has its sights set on launching a new Canadian radio network.
...APTN executives have been spending time in Ottawa these days where five radio licences in Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver may be up for grabs.
Aboriginal Voices Radio recently appealed a CRTC ruling that revoked its licence 18 months ago. If it loses the appeal, the commission has said it would prefer an indigenous operator take over those frequencies. La Rose said APTN has put a solid proposal on the table. A decision on those licences may be made within the next few months.
