CRTC approves satellite radio
Thanks guys, for officially sanctioning what thousands of us have been using by nefarious means for the last few years.
Services from Canadian Satellite Radio and the CBC, partnered with Sirius, must offer:
* At least eight original channels produced in Canada. A maximum of nine foreign channels may be offered for each Canadian channel.
* At least 85% of the musical selections and spoken word programming broadcast on the Canadian channels must be Canadian.
* At least 25% of the Canadian channels must be in the French language.
* At least 25% of the musical selections on the Canadian channels must be new Canadian musical selections.
* A further 25% of the selections must be by emerging Canadian artists.
* At least eight original channels produced in Canada. A maximum of nine foreign channels may be offered for each Canadian channel.
* At least 85% of the musical selections and spoken word programming broadcast on the Canadian channels must be Canadian.
* At least 25% of the Canadian channels must be in the French language.
* At least 25% of the musical selections on the Canadian channels must be new Canadian musical selections.
* A further 25% of the selections must be by emerging Canadian artists.
Oh, I see. Hoops. Hoops to jump through.
And quotas.
There's a recipe for success.
A 9:1 ratio? Great. So we'll see if the Canadian market is really all that important to Sirius and/or XM radio. Considering that there's rumours of bandwidth problems (ie Sirius is running out of it - don't know about XM) we'll see what channels get dumped to make room for this awe-inspiring Canadian lineup.
As long as it's not just 8 different feeds of the CBC running through my radio.
Depending on how this plays through, there will still be many Canadians who do the cross-border shop like I did almost two years ago.
