CRTC sets Jan. 19 virtual hearing on Lakeside Radio's Glencoe FM application
Broadcast Dialogue reports the CRTC has set a Jan. 19 virtual hearing on Lakeside Radio's bid for a commercial FM licence in Glencoe, Ontario.
Why this matters: our read
A hearing date shows the application is under review and leaves the licence undecided. Broadcasters serving nearby Ontario markets are the ones with reason to follow it, because Glencoe has no radio station licensed to it today.
Broadcast Dialogue reports that the CRTC will take up an application from Lakeside Radio Broadcasting Corp. at an online hearing on Jan. 19. The outlet says the company wants to run an English-language commercial FM station in Glencoe, in Middlesex County, Ontario.
According to Broadcast Dialogue, the proposal calls for 88.5 MHz on channel 203A, with effective radiated power capped at 4,500 watts. The report says the applicant offers 126 weekly hours of local programming, of which roughly 17 hours and 15 minutes would be local and regional news. Broadcast Dialogue adds that no radio station has been licensed to serve the Glencoe and Southwest Middlesex market before.
The publication says Raymond Stanton controls Lakeside Radio, which runs CIYN-FM, branded Shoreline Classics FM, in Kincardine, along with relay transmitters at Goderich and Port Elgin. The detail here comes from that report and has not been confirmed by the company or the CRTC.
