Subject to review by Industry Canada before the Hearing.
Application by Golden West Broadcasting Ltd. for a broadcasting licence to operate an English-language commercial FM radio station in Cochrane.
The station would replace CFIT-FM-1 Cochrane, the existing rebroadcasting transmitter of the radio station CFIT-FM Airdrie.
The applicant proposes to change the authorized contours of CFIT-FM-1 by changing the class from A1 to B1, by changing the antenna’s radiation pattern from non-directional to directional, by increasing the average effective radiated power (ERP) from 100 to 4,800 watts (maximum ERP from 100 to 10,000 watts), and by decreasing the effective height of antenna above average terrain from 135 to 115.7 metres. All other technical parameters would remain unchanged.
The applicant proposes a hybrid Country music format, consisting of music from the 80’s, 90’s and today.
