ursday, June 22, 1967 92 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Th CENTENNIAL FLASHBACK TO 'SHUNTERS' ON KING Electrically propelled rail- way shunters were a com- mon sight not too many years ago on King Street in Oshawa as they moved freight cars to the fuel and building supply firms near the Oshawa Creek. Seen here is one of the shunters, some of which were purch- ased by the Oshawa Rail- way Limited from the firm which operated a line be- tween Montreal and Gran- by, Quebec. CFRB Wants TV Outlet, BBG Told During Hearing By TOM MITCHEL OTTAWA (CP)--Radio station CFRB made a $10,000,000 pitch Wednesday for permission to establish Toronto's third televi- sion station. It came during a public hear- img of the Board of Broadcast Governors on an application by CKYR-TV Barrie to move its transmitter south to give it a top-grade signal in Toronto: W. C. Thornton Cran, presi- dent of Standard Radio Ltd. which owns CFRB, said if the BBG ruled that CKVR-TV would remain the Barrie station even ifthe transmitter switch is ap- proved, CFRB had no objection. But if the Barrie move was pernitted and this shut off an application for a third Toronto station, "we object most strenu- ously." In that case, CFRB would ask that its application be heard before a decision is made on the Barrie request. Then, in effect, CFRB made its. application -- a 90-minute, full-dress presentation that in- cluded a 20-minute color film would go to Channel 5 from 6. In the third step, CKCO-TV in Kitchener and WOKR in Ro- chester each would switch from' Channel 13 to Channel 6. Mr. Cran said CFRB has legal agreements with the Kitchener and Rochester stations and they have agreed to the switch. Haliburton to Channel 4 and the CBC was seeking the move to Channel 5 in Toronto. Mr. Cran said this arrange- ment would "clearly provide more Canadian viewing of Ca- nadian television than any other: possible re-allocation.' It also would repatriate Channel 13, originally assigned to Hamilton, from Rochester. CITES OBJECTIONS But Ron Fraser, a CBC vice- president, said the corporation wanted to switch channels in Toronto to open up Channel 6 for use in London, Ont., and the Belleville - Kingston area. If Kitchener and Rochester switched to Channel 6 this would and appearances by some of the personalities its proposed station would use. CFRB said it would provide Toronto's 'only "'truly local' TV station. The existing stations, a@s* anchors for the publicly- owned CBC and the privately- owned CTV networks, had to commit so much time to produc- ing programs for national use that they could not do this job. WANTS COLOR Standard Radio stood ready to'put up $10,000,000 to go on the air in color with 35 of 88 hours a week in its first year consisting of locally-originated programs using local talent. This would be increased after the first year, Vital to the CFRB pitch is a complicated channel shuffle that drew opposition from a CBC spokesman. €FRB proposed its operation on Channel 13. This entails switches by three other Ontario gage and one in Rochester, A satellite of the Barrie sta- tion at Haliburton would have to.switch to Channel 4 from 5. CBLT, the Toronto CBC station, be impossible. Stations using the same chan- nel must be far enough apart to avoid interfering with each other. There would not be enough separation between a London station on Channel 6 and Kitchener, or between Roches- ter on 6 and a Belleville-King- ston station on that channel. Outlining the need for another Toronto channnel, CFRB made these points: --Stations in Buffalo, N.Y., were earning $2,700,000 a year in Canadian advertising be- cause there was insufficient advertising space on Toronto TV --A new Toronto station should use a very - high fre- quency channel, capable of being received by current sets. It was not economically feasible to try for an ultra- high frequency channel when, even if it was made law that all future sets have UHF capability, it would take seven years to establish a sizable audience. --With one VHF channel for each 1,000,000 residents, Tor- onto showed "drastic imbal- ance' with' Montreal's one {BEGoodrich TOPS IN FUN - VA - CRUISER 'CUSTOM' LUE - FEATURES -- built by Canada's largest hike manufacturer - Seamless, silver brazed frame + Dependable 'Perry' coaster brake « Heavy, chrome plated rims - Dazzling automotive-type finish + Gleaming white fenders & chain guard - 2-tone mattress-style saddle.

OSHAWA 725-4548 Barrie had filed to change|™ for each 550,000, Winnipeg's one for each 100,000 and Van- couver's one for each 340,000. The Barrie proposal also brought comment by R. E. Mise- ner of the Toronto firm of Communications Associates, in- terested in bidding for a Tor- onto station with a UHF chan- el. Mr, Misener said the time to start introducing UHF is now and the occasion will not im- prove by. waiting. But if CKVR- TV was allowed to put another VHF signal into Toronto the ad- vent of UHF television could be delayed for five years or more. The board should rule that any application for a third sta- tion should be on the UHF band. LONG DISCUSSION CKVR-TV sparked more than a day of talk before the BBG with its proposal to move its transmitter from Barrie some 30 miles south to Palgrave, near the northern fringe of Toronto. President Ralph Snelgrove of CKVR-TV, co-owner of the sta- tion with Toronto broadcaster Allan Waters and Montreal radio owner Geoff Stirling, said the Barrie audience has suf- fered steady erosion because of new facilities coming into his area. CKVR-TV proposed the trans- mitter move to allow to put a top-grade signal into Toronto, boosting its potential audience from about 200,000 to over 2,000,- 000. Barrie is a CBC affiliate, com- mitted to carrying the CBC net- work programs during about 40 per cent of its broadcast day. If it moved into Toronto, its network segment would dupli- cate the programs carried by CBLT, the Toronto CBC station. Outlining the Barrie proposal |Tuesday, Mr. Stirling said it |was hoped a deal could be |worked out with the CBC to al- \low Barrie to delay some net- work programs so they would be shown on different days or times than they appeared on CBLT. This would allow a viewer who had been out or watched something else when the pro- gram appeared on CBLT to catch it later on CKVR-TV. MONTREAL (CP)--King Bhu- mibol Adulyadej and Queen Si- rikit of Thailand bring a little bit of Southeast Asia to the world's fair today as the royal couple launch Thailand's na- tional day celebrations at Expo 67.
