Hearing On French & English Minority Broadcasting

The CRTC announced that it will examine broadcasting services offered to French- and English-language communities in a minority situation.  The Commission will hold a public hearing for this starting January 13, 2009. 

In a call for comments, the CRTC is asking Canadians to share their views on questions relating to:

• "The availability and quality of French- and English-language broadcasting services in French and English linguistic minority communities
   
• The challenge of providing, in those communities, broadcasting services in both official languages and their availability across all broadcasting platforms and distribution systems, and
   
• Measures to encourage and facilitate access to the widest range of broadcasting services in both official languages in French and English linguistic minority communities in Canada."
