County supports local bid for FM station Local broadcaster Jim Armstrong went before representatives of the Sim- coe County Council last week requesting the coun- ty government's support of his company's application for another FM radio licence in the county. Airport funding Huronia Airport officials have finalized their ap- plication to the federal government for funding for a 999 foot extension on the existing runway. According to Airport Manager John O'Hara, the application which was completed early last week has been sent on to Simcoe North MP Doug Lewis. Airport officials have been working on the pro- ject that is estimated at costing over $450,000 with both the federal and pro- vincial governments. The additional 999 feet, bringing the length of the strip up to 3,999 feet will change the present status of the airport' in Perkinsfield, making it ac- cessible to jet engine planes. Original plans call the work on the runway to be completed over a three year period, beginning this year, but O'Hara said the final decision on the length of the project will come with the announcement of the grant money. Lewis will now take the application to the Ministry of Transport for final approval. Armstrong, a Midland resident, and Ed Thomp- son were at the Ad- ministration Centre in Midhurst, representing the members of Playland Broadcasting who made application to the Cana- dian Radio and Telecom- munications Commission (CRTC) for an FM licence early last month. The application by Playland, owners of CKLP FM Radio in Parry Sound, is only one of six that is before the CRTC at the pre- sent time. Armstrong told 4 Jim Armstrong council Playland is the on- ly locally owned company bidding for an FM licence for Simcoe. During the deputation, two very prominent members of the county council vacated their seats in the council chamber to sit in the gallery, declaring a conflict of interest. Coun- ty Warden Eldon Bell and former warden, Port MecNicoll Reeve John Moreau are two of the 17 members of the organiza- tion who are hoping to get permission to set up a sta- tion that would hit the air- waves through a transmit- ter in the Horseshoe Valley area. Armstrong stressed the new FM station would be a "Simcoe County station"', also emphasizing that 15 of the 17 investors in the com- pany are residents of the county. Although the broadcaster would not divulge any in- formation on the format of the station (because of the competitive nature of the applications) Armstrong did say, "according to-our surveys our programing will serve the needs of Sim- coe County ... we know the needs of the county and we are ready to address them"'. ee Sr ties USED Tv'sS You'll love our low, low prices == TED LIGHT'S TV 77 Main St., Penetanguishene 549-7978 Even with the existence of CHAY FM, Armstrong quoted statistics showing 50 per cent of the FM listeners, tune to stations outside of the county. After considerable discussion amongst the county council represen- tatives, the council voted in favour of endorsing the ap- plication that is expected to go before the CRTC for final approval some time this summer.
