Ottawa, 11 January 2021 Revised list of non-Canadian programming services and stations authorized for distribution – Annual compilation of amendments

1. In Broadcasting Public Notice 2006-55, the Commission announced that it would periodically issue public notices setting out revised lists of eligible satellite services, which would include references to all amendments made since the issuance of the previous public notice setting out the lists.

2. In Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2011-399, the Commission replaced the lists of eligible satellite services with a simplified, consolidated list, which is currently known as the List of non-Canadian programming services and stations authorized for distribution (the list). The consolidated list came into effect 1 September 2011.

3. Accordingly, in Appendix 1 to this regulatory policy, the Commission sets out all amendments made to the list since the last compilation published in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2020-4. The non-Canadian programming services and stations authorized for distribution approved up to and including 22 December 2020 are set out in Appendix 2.
