  • Independent Broadcaster Licence Renewals
    February 15, 2018 Filed Electronically Mr. Chris Seidl Secretary General Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2 Dear Mr. Seidl: Re: Select broadcasting licences renewed further to Broadcasting Notice of Consultation CRTC 2017-183: Applications 2017-0821-5 (Family Channel), 2017-0822-3 (Family CHRGD), 2017- 0823-1 (Télémagino), 2017-0841-3 (Blue Ant Television General Partnership), 2017-0824-9 (CHCH-DT), 2017-0820-8 (Silver Screen Classics), 2017-0808-3 (Rewind), and 2017-0837-2 (Knowledge). The Writers Guild of Canada (WGC) is the national association representing approximately 2,200 professional screenwriters working in English-language film, television, radio, and digital media production in Canada. The WGC is actively involved in advocating for a strong and vibrant Canadian broadcasting system containing high-quality Canadian programming. Given the WGC’s nature and membership, our comments are limited to the applications of those broadcasters who generally commission programming that engages Canadian screenwriters, and in particular those who significantly invest in programs of national interest (PNI). The WGC conditionally supports the renewal of the above-noted services, subject to our comments below. Executive Summary ES.1 The Commission set out its general approach to Canadian programming expenditure (CPE) and PNI requirements in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy CRTC 2015-86, Let’s Talk TV: The way forward - Creating compelling and diverse Canadian programming (the Create Policy). In it, the Commission was clear that CPE was a central pillar of the regulatory policy framework for Canadian television broadcasting, and that the guiding principle for setting CPE levels for independent broadcasters would be historical spending levels.

  • BIG TALENT MEETS TINY TALENT on CHCH THIS FALL Jason Agnew and Jaclyn Colville Named Hosts Bill Lawrence Shares His Point of View
    Media Alert For Immediate Release February 18, 2014 BIG TALENT MEETS TINY TALENT ON CHCH THIS FALL Jason Agnew and Jaclyn Colville named Hosts Bill Lawrence shares his Point of View (Toronto, Canada) Today Channel Zero revealed the hosts of CHCH’s new Tiny Talent Time – one of the longest running and most-loved family shows in Canadian television history. Tiny Talent Time takes us back to a refreshing era of tap-dancing tots and pint-sized magicians sharing their developing talents, just for the fun of it. CHCH will air twelve new 30-minute primetime weekly episodes of Tiny Talent Time beginning Saturday, September 6, 2014 with encore presentations on Sundays. With an overwhelming response to the casting call, Tiny Talent Time producers are currently reviewing submissions by children eager to have their moment in the spotlight, at the same time the show is continuing to seek out complementing product integrations and sponsors. To lead these tiny talents into fame and fortune are two people with talents of their own: JASON AGNEW Jason grew up in Ontario watching Maple Leaf Wrestling and WWF Cavalcade on CHCH. His long- running love affair with professional wrestling led to his current role as host on North America’s most popular wrestling radio program The LAW: Live Audio Wrestling. Despite having a face for radio, Jason has been on TV before… he’s one of the wisecracking play-by-play commentators on YTV & Nickelodeon’s SPLATALOT. Jason is also a game show guru and trivia aficionado. He has had stints hosting Brain Battle on Global Television, as well as Door to Door on the Travel+Escape Network.

  • Canadian Broadcasting in New Media
    December 5, 2008 Via Epass Mr. Robert A. Morin Secretary General Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2 Dear Mr. Morin: Re: Broadcasting Notice of Public Hearing CRTC 2008-11: Notice of consultation and hearing: Canadian broadcasting in new media 1. The Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) - the national voice of Canada‟s private broadcasters, representing the vast majority of Canadian programming services, including private television and radio stations, networks and specialty, pay and pay-per-view television services - is pleased to submit these comments in response to the above-noted Notice of Public Hearing. 2. The CAB requests the opportunity to appear at the February 17, 2009 hearing. 3. In our July 11, 2008 response to Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2008-44, which launched this current proceeding, the CAB noted that, at the time PN 2008-44 was issued and on a number of occasions since, the Commission had publicly stated that its intent for the new media broadcasting proceeding was not to regulate the Internet generally or to apply traditional broadcasting-style regulation to Internet content. Accordingly, we stated our understanding that, based on the Commission‟s public statements, the intent of this proceeding is to explore means other than regulation of the Internet which the Commission might employ to contribute to the ability of Canadians to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the Internet for the creation, distribution and accessing of high-quality professional Canadian content. 4. The CAB submits that the manner by which the CRTC can best contribute to the above objective is to refrain entirely from attempting to exercise its broadcasting regulatory mandate on online content generally, as well as from imposing any new reporting or other regulatory obligations on traditional broadcasters with respect to their own online activities.
