TORONTO — The Canadian Association of Broadcasters has been clamoring for it. The nation’s ownership groups have lamented how their collective business has been hurt by it. Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission rules regarding AM/FM “radio processes” — including mandatory Canadian content rules as it pertains to recorded music — have been under fire from fiscally challenged publicly traded companies that have been selling properties or, in some cases, shutting down stations altogether.
It now appears the CRTC is ready to consider a “modernization of radio processes.”
