OTTAWA – The CRTC tweaked a few details around its upcoming proceeding examining the framework for French-language vocal music (FVM).
The Commission said Wednesday that the public hearing in Quebec City will now begin at 9:30 AM on November 16, 2015 at the TRYP Québec Hôtel PUR; that it is adding an oral reply phase to the hearing; and that following the public hearing, parties may file final written replies on any matter within the proceeding's scope prior to December 10, 2015 at 8:00 PM (Ottawa time). The final written reply, including an executive summary, must not exceed 10 pages.
When the proceeding was announced in July, the CRTC said that the goal of the review is to ensure that French-language content is present in music programming and to provide French-language vocal music listeners with access to programming that reflects their needs, interests and culture.
