CRTC Consults on Definition of Canadian Content and Flexible Approach for Radio
Ottawa, ON – November 15, 2024 – The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) is launching a public consultation on the definition of Canadian content and a flexible approach for radio.
The consultation will seek feedback on a number of issues, including:
- The definition of Canadian content for radio
- The use of flexible approaches to Canadian content regulations
- The impact of new technologies on the definition of Canadian content
The CRTC is undertaking this consultation as part of its ongoing review of its broadcasting regulations. The current definition of Canadian content for radio has been in place since 1999 and the CRTC believes that it is time to review the definition to ensure that it remains relevant in today’s digital age.
The CRTC is also considering a flexible approach to Canadian content regulations for radio. This approach would allow broadcasters to meet their Canadian content obligations in a variety of ways, including through the use of new technologies.
The consultation will be open for public comment until January 15, 2025. The CRTC will then review the comments and make a decision on whether to change the definition of Canadian content for radio and/or implement a flexible approach to Canadian content regulations.
