The CRTC on Thursday approved for distribution two non-Canadian channels.
Public broadcasting service WPBS-TV, serving northern New York and eastern Ontario, and family entertainment service Dog and Cat TV were approved after the regulator found no evidence that they would be competitive with any domestic discretionary television services.
WPBS-TV provides drama, documentary, news, lifestyle, children’s animated and live-action, music and theatrical performances, and current affairs/interview programs.
Dog and Cat TV provides original programming dedicated to the domesticated animals, including 134 hours of lifestyle, human interest, recreation, leisure and reality content, plus 34 hours of long-form documentary programming.
