Sample Letter

To Whom It May Concern,
Re: Applicaton # 2010-0618-0

I am writing to express my disappointment upon learning about the possibility of my local Christian radio station (CFWC-FM Power 93) being sold and turned into a Rock radio station.

Brantford, and this area of Southern Ontario, is one of the most densely populated areas in the province and we deserve and need an FM Christian radio station that we can tune into for positive, uplifting music and programming.

On any given day, should I be looking for Rock music, I can tune my radio to 97.7 from St. Catharines, Y108 from Hamilton, 102.1 from Toronto, or 107.1 from Toronto just to name a few.  But when I am looking for Christian music, which I often do, I have Power 93.9, my only choice.  We don’t need another rock station to service this area.

The population of Brantford / Brant is 140,000, and of that population approximately 78% has an affiliation with the Christian religion. That means that Power 93.9 is the sole source of Christian programming for over 100,000 people in our area.

I am opposed to the application for the license amendment.  I would ask that you please deny the format change and allow us to keep our only Christian radio station.

Sincerely,

Please note this is a sample letter only.  We’d suggest that you use this as a guide only, to draft your own letter.

The Power Of Christian Radio – By Marc Scott

Some have asked me whether or not what I’ve done to lend my support to the cause of keeping Power 93.9FM in Brantford broadcasting as a Christian radio station is a conflict of interest, on account of me working for the competition in town.  I admit, I asked myself the same question before I started.  [...]

Yes You Can Sign A Petition

Dear Friend, Many of you have asked us why we don’t simply create a petition for people to sign, as it would be much easier than going through the CRTC intervention process.  The reason we didn’t do this, is that it was our understanding that petitions were not accepted by the CRTC.  Today we have [...]
