OTTAWA – The CRTC has dropped Mediadenovo’s application from its public hearing scheduled for February 22, but will reschedule it at a later date, said the brief notice of consultation.
In response to an email inquiry from Cartt.ca, Mediadenovo CEO Glenn O’Farrell said that he “was expecting this”, and predicted that a new date for his company’s hearing will be set shortly. He said that the application would have remained part of the non-appearing hearing “only if there had been few interventions”.
Mediadenovo has applied to sell ad time on US specialty channels’ local avails in Canada and direct the majority of the revenues to Canadian programming.
