CRTC Initiates Canadian Content Consultation
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced the launch of two public consultations aimed at redefining Canadian content for television and online streaming, alongside providing radio stations more flexibility. These consultations are part of the implementation of the modernized Broadcasting Act, ensuring contributions to Canadian and Indigenous content. Stakeholders are invited to submit their comments by January 20, 2025, through various channels. This initiative is critical as it may influence content creation and distribution within Canada's broadcasting framework.
