The CRTC  finds that the Sudbury radio market cannot sustain any additional commercial radio stations at this time. Consequently, the Commission will not issue a call for applications for new commercial radio stations to serve that radio market. In light of this, the Commission will return the application filed by Larche Communications Inc. for a broadcasting licence to operate a commercial radio station to serve Sudbury.

The Commission announced that it had received an application by Larche Communications Inc. for a broadcasting licence to operate a new commercial FM radio station to serve Sudbury, Ontario. The applicant proposed to operate the station at 88.5 MHz with an effective radiated power of 50,000 watts.

The city of Sudbury is located 65 kilometres north of Lake Huron and 115 kilometres west of North Bay. It has the highest population of any city in Northern Ontario.
