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
