  • Local 830M Intervention 2018-127
    Unifor Local 830M Intervention on CRTC Broadcast Notice of Consultation 2018-127 1. I am writing with conditional support for Rogers application for a national, multilingual multi-ethnic television service offering news and information programming, which, if licensed, would receive mandatory distribution on the basic service pursuant to section 9(1)(h) of the Broadcasting Act. 2. I would like to appear at October 15, 2018 hearing. 3. Unifor Local 830M represents 60 unionized employees in Vancouver who work for Rogers Communications to produce programming for CKVU, CHNM and OMNI Regional. 4. We want to work with Rogers and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunication Commission (CRTC) to ensure Canadians have access to high quality local multicultural news, produced in-house by Rogers employees in the cities across Canada which they also operate over the air (OTA) multicultural broadcast licenses. 5. Many of the applications the CRTC is considering with BNOC 2018-127 are deficient and could allow a Broadcaster the ability to contract out local news programming to a sub contractor who could be a competitor or even a subsidiary of a foreign broadcaster. Providing a translation service through the use of technology would also be a mistake and fall far short of the goals of the Broadcast Act. 6. The CRTC has allowed large vertically integrated Canadian companies to operate in a winner takes all world of regulated broadcast licensing. This is especially true with Rogers as the only multicultural broadcaster with its series of OMNI licences. 7. Unifor Local 830M would like the CRTC to consider what our conditions of support are: 8.

While ‘traditional’ television is still a significant method of consumption, long-form video content streamed through a connected device is a regular part of Canadian viewing patterns. In some cases, viewing through a connected device is the only way Canadians are consuming content. Whether ad supported (YouTube, CityTvNow, Tubi), paid subscription (Netflix, Disney+, Sportsnet NOW etc.) or a hybrid of both, streaming is a growing method of content consumption in Canada. With enforced isolation and restrictions brought on by the pandemic, streaming consumption has been accelerated. Canadians are spending more time and money with streaming services. From our research, we estimate that Canadians spent $2.7B on streaming services in 2020.1 Is this a one time aberration, or a sign of things to come? Now, as we enter what appears to be the final phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, this report takes a look at the state of Methodology Rogers Sports & Media (RSM) in partnership with Tubi commissioned this study through MARU/Matchbox using their Streaming in Canada: What streaming content are Canadians Voice Canada panel.
