2 . STAFF COMMENTS:
2 . 1 For the Committee's information, Mr. Elder's request was
submitted on behalf of Power Broadcasting Inc . , licencee of
CKQT-FM Oshawa and CHEX-TV, Peterborough.
2 .2 Upon contacting Mr. Elder, Staff was advised that Power
Broadcasting Inc . recently purchased the existing facilities
north-east of Mitchell Corners with the intention of re-
establishing the licensing rights of the transmission
facilities .
2 . 3 To that end, a licensing application was submitted with DOC-
CRTC. Through the Department of Communication requirements
an applicant is required to advise the host municipality of
their intentions to operate a station.
2 .4 Mr. Elder indicated that the existing facility was
previously licensed through GLOBAL-TV, but has not been
operational for the past two (2) years when GLOBAL relocated
to the CN Tower facilities . Global operations involved a
1000/kilowatt service whereas Power Broadcasting Inc . would
involve a 10 Kilowatt service.
2 .5 Notwithstanding the limited service proposed and possible
area of interference, CHEX-TV has provided Staff with a copy
of a general commitment that is honoured should any
interference develop. The commitment states that the holder
of the broadcasting certificate shall remedy any complaints
of overloading, blanketing and any other type of
interference to the reception of broadcast and other radio
services caused by the operation of this broadcasting

undertaking, and shall take prompt and appropriate action to
correct such adverse effects bearing all costs involved, unless
such complaints are of a type judged not valid by the Department
of Communications .
2 . 6 It is noted for the Committee's information that within By-law
84-63, Section 3 . 16 entitled "Public Uses " permits the use of any
lot or building for the purposes of providing "public services" .
For the purposes of this Section, any telephone, cable
television, or telegraph company which company possesses all the
necessary powers, rights, licenses and franchise is included as
providing a "Public Service" and accordingly, a permitted use.
2 . 7 Staff would confirm that the DOC-CRTC does not require a "formal
response" to Mr. Elder's letter as their mandate only requires
that notification be provided. Therefore, no action is required
by the municipality and this report is recommended to be received
for information.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
