Ottawa, 20 January 1997



Decision CRTC 97-25



Trent Radio

Peterborough, Ontario - 199606232



Change in frequency and increase in power



Following Public Notice CRTC 1996-147 dated 8 November 1996, the

Commission approves the application to amend the broadcasting licence for

CFFF-FM Peterborough, by changing the frequency from 96.3 MHz (channel

242LP) to 92.7 MHz (channel 224A1) and by increasing the effective

radiated power from 30 watts to 250 watts.



The applicant indicated that these changes are necessary to eliminate

interference presently received from co-channel stations CFMK-FM Kingston

and CFMX-FM-1 Toronto.  The Commission notes that the increase in power

will provide secondary coverage to the Hiawatha and Curve Lake Indian

Reserves and to the south-western community of Millbrook.  The Commission

hereby authorizes the licensee to operate the undertaking on the basis of

the contours and particulars resulting from the above-mentioned changes.



The Department of Industry has advised the Commission that this

application is conditionally technically acceptable, and that a

Broadcasting Certificate will only be issued once it has been determined

that the proposed technical parameters will not create any unacceptable

interference with aeronautical NAV/COM services.



In accordance with subsection 22(1) of the Broadcasting Act, the

Commission will only issue the licence amendment, and the authority will

only be granted, at such time as written notification is received from the

Department of Industry that its technical requirements have been met, and

that a Broadcasting Certificate will be issued.



This decision is to be appended to the licence.

Secretary General
