CJVD-FM

On July 6, the CRTC approved in part the application by Yves Sauvé, on behalf of a corporation to be incorporated, for a broadcasting licence to operate a new FM radio station in Vaudreuil-Dorion. Within 90 days of the date of this decision, the applicant must submit an amendment to the application proposing the use of a frequency other than 106.3 MHz (channel 292A) that is acceptable both to the Commission and to the Department of Industry. Sauve proposed an effective radiated power of 1,100 watts. The new station would offer a music format composed mainly of retro hits targetting the 35 to 64 age group. At least 40% of the Category 2 (popular music) musical selections aired during the broadcast week and between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. from Monday through Friday would be Canadian selections, which exceed the percentages required by the Radio Regulations, 1986. The station would air more than 39 hours of spoken word programming during the broadcast week, of which at least 4 hours would be devoted to news. Local news would account for 50% of the total news aired during the broadcast day. The licence would expire 31 August 2013.
