Document Summary
Type of change this reflects (increased or decreased regulation) o increase in regulation on the part of the crtc but people are looking for deregulation. Reason for change o government"s goal is to protect canadian content and culture. Globerman"s article see that canadian television and radio commercial broadcasters are subject to regulations that require them to devote a minimum number of broadcast hours to canadian content. These regulations require private conventional tv licensees to devote not less than 60% of broadcast year and not less than 50% of evening broadcast period (6pm to 12am) to canadian programs. A lot of canadians use programs such as netflix to stream their tv shows however the content on netflix is also restricted there are requirements for netflix to air certain canadian friendly shows. In the ipsos"s article, (cid:498)what we heard across canada(cid:499), we see why shomi created by rogers didn"t stand a chance up against netflix.
