 Abstract
CBC's facilities on Mount Seymour include a pair of television transmitters
(CBUT (VHF) and CBUFT (UHF)), several FM broadcast transmitters (CBC-FM
and other co-located broadcasters), a Digital Radio Broadcast transmitter,
and a Base station for CBC's Electronic News Gathering equipment.
For those curious about the type of transmitters,
combiners, and antennas used in broadcast applications, this will be an
excellent opportunity for a first-hand look. During the tour, Ian
Munro will discuss the challenges that CBC Distribution and Transmission
Services faces when installing, maintaining, and operating 240 transmitters
at 190 different sites throughout B.C. during such a volatile period for
broadcast technology.
