CBWF Mackenzie [920 kHz]
“The Commission […] approves the application […] by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) to amend the broadcasting licence for the English-language radio programming undertaking CBYG-FM Prince George, British Columbia to operate a new transmitter in Mackenzie, British Columbia. The new transmitter [99.9 MHz] will replace the existing low-power AM transmitter CBWF Mackenzie [920 kHz] and will rebroadcast the programming of the CBC’s national English-language network Radio One. The Commission also approves the application […] by the CBC to remove CBWF from CBYG-FM’s licence. […]
When requesting technical changes, licensees are generally required to demonstrate a technical or economic need justifying the changes. The CBC stated that the current AM transmitter in Mackenzie is 53 years old and needs to be replaced as it has reached the end of its useful life. The licensee added that the new FM transmitter will provide an improved CBC Radio One signal to the community of Mackenzie and its vicinity. The Commission is satisfied that the licensee has demonstrated a technical need for the requested technical changes.”
