#CRTC rejects Rogers application to turn CKKS-FM-2 (Kiss Radio 104.9) in Vancouver into its own station instead of rebroadcaster of Chilliwack station, concluding that the Vancouver market can’t sustain a new radio station at this time crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/20…
The Rogers application was unique because, while technically applying for a new radio station, it would not have added a transmitter, and Kiss Radio’s studios are already in Vancouver. The only downside to #CRTC approving it was the integrity of the licensing process.
That said, the #CRTC "is of the view that Rogers is significantly understating the potential market impact of converting its rebroadcasting transmitter to an originating station,” in part because its projections showed half the average per-station revenue for the market.

Je vois plein de discussion de ce reportage. Certains voient une attaque contre Le Devoir. Ou une trahison contre le mouvement « Moi aussi ». Ou une preuve que ce mouvement va trop loin contre les hommes. Ou une preuve du "cancel culture." Permettez-moi quelques nuances...
Parce que c'est ça, la nuance. C'est inconvénient. Ce n'est pas bonne comme arme rhétorique, la nuance. Pas une preuve ni une contre-preuve. Ça déradicalise les propos.
Isabelle Hachey est très claire: Elle ne veut « pas d’absoudre Julien Lacroix, ni de se demander s’il serait temps pour lui de remonter sur les planches ». Elle ne veut non plus « remettre en cause la démarche journalistique adoptée par les médias, dont Le Devoir »
