  • Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2003-67
    Februrary 2, 2004 VIA E-MAIL and FAX Ms. Diane Rhéaume Secretary General Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2 Dear Ms. Rhéaume: Re: Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2003-67: Call for comments on proposals for the addition of non-Canadian satellite services to the list of services eligible for digital distribution 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 this intervention concerning Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2003-67 (PN 2003-67). 2. In PN 2003-67 the Commission calls for comments on proposals to add two non- Canadian services, Bloomberg Television and MSNBC, to the list of services eligible for digital distribution. Bloomberg Television has been proposed by Shaw Communications Inc. (Shaw) as an alternative to its authorized Category 2 service Bloomberg Television Canada, which it does not intend to launch. Similarly, Rogers Cable Inc.1 (Rogers) and Shaw have proposed the addition of MSNBC to the list of services eligible for digital distribution as a replacement for the licensed Category 2 service MSNBC Canada, whose operation would be discontinued. 1 Although PN 2003-67 refers to Rogers Broadcasting Limited, the documentation on the public file indicates that Rogers Cable Inc. is the co-sponsor of MSNBC. - 2 - 3. The CAB opposes these requests based on two fundamental concerns. First, the proposed non-Canadian satellite services would be totally or partially competitive with existing Canadian specialty services.

    October 1, 2010 Robert A. Morin Secretary General CRTC Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2 Dear Mr. Morin: Re: CRTC 2010-649 – Sun TV News application 1. The Canadian Media Guild is a union representing 6,000 media workers across Canada at CBC/Radio-Canada, TVO, TFO, the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network, ZoomerMedia and CW Television. We also represent employees at Reuters Canada and The Canadian Press. Our Canadian parent union, CWA Canada, also represents employees at Sun newspapers in Ontario. A significant proportion of our members work in news and current affairs. 2. The CMG supports new Canadian news ventures that are serious about producing quality editorial content and aim, among other things, to enrich our diverse country’s public debates, dialogue and decision-making. 3. We are pleased to provide our comments on the application by Quebecor for a new specialty all-news station, Sun TV News: • The CMG supports the application for a Category 2 licence, with conditions relating to the number of dedicated journalists and electronic newsgatherers Sun TV News must employ and to enhanced measures to deal with the real possibility of complaints about abusive content. • The CMG opposes the exceptional mandatory access requested in the application. • Given the questions the application raises about the definition of news and news balance, the CMG recommends that a policy hearing be held on these questions prior to granting the Category 2 licence. Canadian Media Guild CRTC 2010-649 Page 1 of 5 • The Commission must open up the conventional OTA licences currently held by Sun TV to a competitive process.

At the Rogers Group of Funds, this is no quick fling. We first launched Telefund in 1980 in order to help producers tell the stories that resonate with audiences across the country and reflect distinctly Canadian perspectives in all their diversity. Since then, we’ve deepened that commitment with the addition of our Cable Network Fund, Documentary Fund and Theatrical Robin C. Mirsky Executive Director, Rogers Group of Funds Documentary Program. In 2015 alone, we supported 86 productions with $21.4 million dollars in funding, helping to create more of the Philip B. Lind Vice Chairman, Rogers Communications television and film that we adore. Canadians share our passion. They’re cuddling up to more TV series — both scripted and unscripted. They’re discovering the lure of documentaries, and they’re viewing feature films that have found success at home and abroad. This is a relationship that just keeps getting better, and we invite you to celebrate it with us. ROGERS GROUP OF FUNDS 1 Orph an Bla ck Take one crack-smoking mayor.

    Annual Report Spotlight on WOMEN WHO ARE SHAPING CANADIAN TELEVISION & FILM SHINING A SPOTLIGHT MORE & MORE WOMEN ARE SHAPING THE TELEVISION & FILM WE WATCH TODAY Each year in our Annual Report, we have an opportunity to showcase the work of Canada’s television and film producers. And each year reaffirms just how much creative talent exists in this country. In 2018, the Rogers Group of Funds supported that talent by committing $18.5 million to 116 productions from a diverse group of Canadian producers. A significant number of them are women — women who are creating globally recognized hit series, powerful documentaries, award- winning features and other great content. Whether they’re taking their place in the director’s chair, the visual effects studio or the boardroom table, more and more women are shaping the television and film we watch today. To celebrate their achievements, we’ve chosen to highlight a few of the many Canadian women from coast to coast who are making an impact in our sector today. As you’ll see in the pages that follow, they’re striking international deals, pioneering interactive digital content and finding bold new ways to tell stories. Some of them have been wowing audiences for decades. Others are earlier in their career. But each one of them is making Canadian film and television richer by bringing their voice, experience and perspective to our screens — and shaping Canadian culture as a result. Brava! Robin C.
