Do not fill this in! ===The use of an adjacent market=== Occasionally, a station owner would reach a legal limit on [[concentration of media ownership]], already having the maximum number of commonly owned stations in a market. Additional stations would be possible by transmitting the extra signals from a station technically in an adjacent market. {|class="wikitable" |- !Broadcaster !City !Community of license !Comments |- ||[[CKBY-FM]] 101.1 ||[[Ottawa]] ||[[Smiths Falls, Ontario|Smiths Falls]] ||As station owner [[Rogers Communications]] already has multiple stations licensed to Ottawa, limits on [[concentration of media ownership]] restrict it from moving additional stations into that city. The city of license has therefore remained at Smiths Falls, a small town of roughly 80 km distant, and the station was absent from the (now-defunct) Ottawa-Hull [[Digital Audio Broadcasting|digital radio]] cluster as that signal would not reach the community of license.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/2002/db2002-364.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050219091524/http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/2002/db2002-364.htm |url-status=dead |title=Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2002-364, 13 November 2002, Rogers Broadcasting, Transitional digital radio undertaking associated with CIOX-FM Smiths Falls (CKBY-FM), (denied)|archive-date=February 19, 2005}}</ref> Despite this the station effectively acts as an adjunct to the Ottawa radio market, and has undergone frequent format, branding and call sign changes based on market conditions in Ottawa.{{efn|As [[Smiths Falls, Ontario]], is legally not in the [[Ottawa]] radio market, attempts by the Smiths Falls station to oppose proposed format changes by its Ottawa rivals have been rejected by the CRTC; likewise, any attempts by the Ottawa stations to oppose format changes in Smiths Falls have by this precedent also been dismissed - a situation which favours the Smiths Falls broadcaster by giving it added autonomy it would not have had in the city.}} Like its nominally Smiths Falls-licensed sibling [[CJET-FM]], CKBY's transmitters are actually in [[Carleton Place, Ontario]] - roughly halfway from Smiths Falls to Ottawa. |} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
