CRTC Launches Consultations on Canadian Content

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has initiated public consultations to update the definition of Canadian content for TV and online streaming services. This move comes as a part of the implementation of the modernized Broadcasting Act. The consultations aim to ensure that Canadian and Indigenous stories are discoverable and shared. The CRTC is also modernizing rules for radio stations to provide more flexibility in content delivery. Industry stakeholders are encouraged to participate before the January 20, 2025 deadline, as the CRTC seeks diverse perspectives to shape the new regulatory framework.
