CBC's "REGIONAL COVERAGE"
BC's ;appropriation of three independent sta.timis'
frequencies was first declared necessary ;because
of the need for greater "regional coverage". To
this has now been added the 'argument that the three
wave -lengths must be taken over because they will be
"lost" to Canada 2f CBC faille to use them in conjunction
• with 50 kw stations.
It was explained to the Radio Cama by Dr.
• Trigon that the three are "Class 1-A channels" — that
is, no other country can use them in such a way as to
cause interference at the.border above a specified degree.
To remain a Class 1-A Clutmel, he saM, the power of the
Station must he 50 kw. or albove.
However, further questioning brought out the filet
that even if the high-powered stations were not built, this
country could continue to use, the three frequencies ex-
actly as they are being used now. No other country could
uee iiihean with a high-powered station. — i.e., as a Class
VA channel. The worst that could happen is that the
U.S. might operate a low -powered station on either one,
which would not be strong enough to cause local inter-
ference arnyvvary.
All this adds up to the fact that CBC is spending
more than one million dollars of the people's money for
the very doubtful privilege ;of being lable to call three radio
trequeuoies "Class 1-A channels". This may flatter the
ego of CBC's technicians, but # is unlikely that the man
•in the street really cares.
