Canada: TV Networks Want New Rules
Grant Robertson writes in The Globe and Mail:
A federal review of the television sector that begins Monday in Gatineau, Que., is being called one of the most crucial meetings of the Canadian industry since TV made the leap from black and white to colour.More here.
Operators of the conventional national networks, including CanWest Global Communications Corp., CTV Inc. and CHUM Ltd. (which is in the process of being acquired by CTV's parent, Bell Globemedia, which also owns The Globe and Mail) want the federal broadcast regulator to let them charge cable and satellite companies for their signals.
They also want the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to loosen the restrictions on TV advertising, allowing more commercial minutes per hour and putting fewer limits on product placements and infomercials.
