640 foot CFRB TV tower approved near Oakville
The Ontario Municipal Board approved rezon ing 27 acres near the eastern county boundary for CFRB radio to build a 640 ft television transmission tower with a 100 ft antenna and a one story brick base. The site on Ninth Line north of Highway 401 was formerly agricultural land and rezoned to private open space after a bid to move closer to the port site was declined. Objections from two neighbors over potential interference were overruled but the company must correct any interference that develops.
