GATINEAU – TV Ontario has applied to the CRTC to reduce its required Canadian content from 65% to 60%.
Its current condition of license says that it must broadcast no less than 65% Canadian content every day.
“The 5% reduction will provide the flexibility needed to invest more in new, high quality Canadian programs throughout the broadcast day,” says the application.
“It also points out that a minimum of 60% Canadian content over the broadcast day will bring its obligation in line with most other broadcasters in Canada, including all other educational broadcasters.”
The deadline for intervention is September 12th.
