Today, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission is inviting Canadians to participate in the consultation for the renewal of CBC/Radio-Canada's radio and television licences. The CRTC will hold a public hearing beginning November 19, 2024 in Gatineau, Quebec.
The CRTC will examine the public broadcaster's role in the light of the latter's powers under the Broadcasting Act. The following are some of the issues that the Commission plans to discuss:
-CBC/Radio-Canada's overall strategy
-equivalent quality of services in French and English
-representation of official language minority communities
-regional reflection and the services offered in northern Canada
-the accessibility of information relating to the Corporation's management and the effectiveness with which public comments are handled
-the addition of advertising on Espace Musique and Radio 2 and commercial agreements.
All interventions already received and the comments submitted during the online consultation held in 2024 have been placed in the public record and will be taken into consideration.
