I'm not sure why the section on the CRTC taking over Telecommunications was deleted. The edits are not clear - it is added (it was already there) and then deleted. None of the edits refer to it being deleted. --— Precedingunsigned comment added byGcapp1959 (talk •contribs) 2005-06-28T18:51:14 (UTC)
A small weirdness: I corrected Charles Dalfen's title from "Chairperson" to "Chairman" because, though it may sound strange, that,s the real deal. His predecessor was the "Chair". When he arrived, he had all the signs changed back.70.80.27.10402:11, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Under the Regulation of the Internet, I'd like to add a subsection about the release from October 5, 2011 of the CRTC's investigation into "Over The Top" or programming access over the Internet.
In May of 2011, in response to the increase presence ofOver-the-Top (OTT) programming, the CRTC put a call out to the public to provide input on the impact OTT programming is having on Canadian content and existing broadcasting subscriptions through satellite and cable.[1] On October 5, 2011 the CRTC released their findings that included consultations with stakeholders from the telecommunications industry, media producers, and cultural leaders among others. The evidence was inconclusive, suggesting that an increased availability of OTT options is not having a negative impact on the availability or diversity of Canadian content, one of the key policy mandates of the CRTC, nor are there signs that there has been a significant decline of televisions subscriptions through cable or satellite. However, given the rapid progress in the industry they are working on a more in depth study to be concluded in May 2012.[2]

I would like to add some information to this section regarding the CRTC's rulings allowing the likes of Bell and Rogers to continue traffic shaping of both their own customers and third party wholesale ISPs. Just wondering if there are any objections to me adding this.WookieInHeat (talk)18:33, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Wow... this article really needs work. I wrote this short section below regarding Usage Based Billing. Perhaps someone would allow me to integrate this content. We really need to cleanup some of this mess.
On Jan 11th 2011, theCRTC released a controversial decision[1] which would allow Bell and Telus to implementUsage Based Billing. This decision by the CRTC has produced a backlash from Canadian consumers[2] and business[3] alike. As of Feb 2, 2011 over 350,000 people have signed an on-line petition[4] urging the government to overturn the CRTC decision.

The Fox News subsection is incorrect. Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper tried and failed to change wording in the Canadian Radio Act, which states "a licenser may not broadcast ... any false or misleading news", so that the CRTC would be able to grant Fox News licensing in Canada under the name Sun TV. Moreover, there are no right-wing propaganda news or talk radio allowed in Canada due to this same restriction. Please update to reflect the facts!!http://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/276-74/5123-fox-news-lies-keep-them-out-of-canadahttp://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/crtc-ditches-bid-to-allow-fake-news/article1921489/— Precedingunsigned comment added byRu4stinger2 (talk •contribs)22:23, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Two points: (1) you have yet to cite a source that Fox News (or whatever name it's listed under) has been broadcasting in Canada since 2004; and (2) according to second source provided above, the Globe and Mail, there was a 10 year effort to change regulation to allow fake news organizations like Fox News to broadcast in Canada, which seems to contradict the first point. This effort that was soundly defeated as it "...resulted in a tidal wave of angry responses from Canadians who said they feared such a move would open the door to Fox TV-style news and reduce their ability to determine what is true and what is false." Either cite a credible source that Fox has been broadcasting in Canada since 2004, or remove this claim from Wikipedia webpages.

I read somewhere on theMuchMusic article that "MTV itself was not permitted in Canada due toCRTC restrictions on format protection."
Can someone perhaps add this to the "Controversial decisions" section as well as expand on it a little bit more? I'd like to know more about this.
Thanks,--JT14:16, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't the first sentence of this article say what CRTC is, rather than when it was created? I came here not sure whether this was a private or governmental organization and I was not enlightened.137.122.30.214 (talk)00:36, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's tough to pinpoint exactly "what" it is oddly enough, as it's a commission that was created as part of an Act:http://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/C-22/FullText.html
But basically it's 19 industry 'double dippers' looking to promote and create cultural identity. Was the brain-child of the Department of Canadian Heritage.99.248.230.220 (talk)07:44, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This should explain the 2015 fair access controversy or you can read the actual Bell submissionsthreatening to throttle back their FTTP investment if fair access goes ahhead

Change current Chairman to Ian Scott from Jean-Pierre Blais. Reference:https://www.canada.ca/en/radio-television-telecommunications/news/2017/09/statement_by_ianscottchairpersonandchiefexecutiveofficeratthecan.html
Jean-Pierre's run ended June 2017 so that should be changed too.Iamawikieditor (talk)20:37, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Done Thanks for the catch; this wasn't well-publicized by the media as far as I know, so it got missed at the time.Bearcat (talk)20:46, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply] | Thisedit request has been answered. Set the|answered= parameter tono to reactivate your request. |
Change current Minister from Melanie Joly toPablo Rodríguez (Canadian politician) (since July 2018)
Also, not sure why the logo hasn't changed yet but the actual logo is the blue one they have on Facebook and Twitter.https://www.facebook.com/701549873261329/photos/762205183862464/ It's more FIP-y.
The page belongs in the Category:Canadian federal departments and agencies. Can somebody add it? --110.93.236.75 (talk)10:28, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Thank you for the suggestion.Dimadick (talk)11:02, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The CRTC’s predecessor agencies are the Board of Broadcast Governors (BBG) in respect of broadcasting, and the Canada Transport Commission (CTC, as it then was in 1976) in respect of telecommunications. The article should reflect both.2605:B100:D38:835E:A8DC:F42A:8422:3896 (talk)15:52, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The section where it says: "The station was later sold to RNC Media, but instead of renewing its licence the CRTC issued RNC a licence to launch a new radio station on the same frequency."
Cannot be verified and should be removed. Please refer tohttps://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2013/2013-517.htm section 22 for more information. It seems that the CRTC did indeed renew the licence.Bcoops (talk)03:58, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done
