Despite popular perception that the CRTC banned Sirius Canada from broadcasting Howard Stern's program, this is not the case.

Under the Broadcasting Act, a network is defined as " any operation where control over all or any part of the programs or program schedules of one or more broadcasting undertakings is delegated to another undertaking or person " and must be licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ( CRTC ).

Although this is sometimes controversial, Canadian cable companies are required by the CRTC to practise simultaneous substitution when a Canadian channel and a non-Canadian channel ( which is usually American ) are airing the same program at the same time.

In January 2010, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ( CRTC ) published an application filed by CHFD to disaffiliate from CTV as of February 28, after not being able to negotiate an acceptable new programming agreement with the network, indicating it had instead reached an expanded program supply agreement with Global.

Since 2000, the program has officially been designated a " documentary series ", with only one or two segments filling an hour-long episode, due to CRTC regulations that count documentaries, but not older-style newsmagazines, as " priority programming ".

When First Choice applied to the CRTC, it estimated that to program major American movies, entertainment specials and Canadian movies and specials, pay for satellite time, and marketing of the channel, it could sell it to the cable companies at a wholesale rate of $ 7. 50 / month.

Even before CKLN resumed scheduled programming in late September 2009, the CRTC expressed concerns over the station's inability to comply with licence requirements during the dispute, such as playing the aforementioned loop for several months in 2009, its failure to properly submit on-air logger tapes, program logs and complete annual financial returns since 2007, and that the CRTC licence for CKLN had been transferred to a third party without authorization.

In 2002, however, Friends of Canadian Broadcasting filed a brief with the CRTC opposing the station's license renewal — FCB took the position that in practice, the agreement was extending well beyond advertising sales and into both program production and news gathering, and thus constituted an illegal de facto local management agreement.

The CRTC program, Department of Computer Science & Engineering focuses on research areas such as Optical Character Recognition, Parallel Processing, Cluster Computer, CodeWitz, Asia Link Project, Cellular Phone & Computer Interfacing, Bangla Computerization, Natural Language Processing etc.

The station was licensed by the CRTC in 2001 to program a Dance format as " The Planet.

The Service Improvement Plan ( SIP ) is a program mandated by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ( CRTC ) to provide a defined level of basic telephone service to all Canadians, other than those so isolated that it is costly and impractical to reach.

The CRTC cut the program to $ 67 million, eliminating a plan for local dial-up Internet access in small communities, and also removing Caller ID as part of the basic service objective within the Northwestel operating area.

In 2003, however, at the company's request, the CRTC reviewed the issue of local access to the Internet, found that other Internet service providers had not expanded service to unserved communities, and authorized Northwestel to provide the service, under the SIP program, to any small community that did not already have a local provider.

However, four fairly large communities were allowed to have the cost included under the program, since the CRTC decided the market conditions were favourable in those four locations.

In 1958, the Board of Broadcast Governors assumed responsibilities for regulating public and private broadcasters from the CBC and the Department of Transport and in 1968, with the adoption of the Broadcasting Act, regulation became the responsibility of the Canadian Radio-television Commission ( CRTC ).

Department of Architecture Center for Research, Testing, and Consultancy ( CRTC ) focuses on research areas such as building planning and design, interior design, landscape development, urban planning and urban renewal, conservation of historical sites and monuments, architecture of Bengal region, sustainable design, low cost housing etc.

The CRTC reports to the Parliament of Canada through the Minister of Canadian Heritage, which is responsible for the Broadcasting Act, and has an informal relationship with Industry Canada, which is responsible for the Telecommunications Act.

The CRTC has in the past regulated the prices cable television broadcast distributors are allowed to charge.

The evidence was inconclusive, suggesting that an increased availability of OTT options is not having a negative impact on the availability or diversity of Canadian content, one of the key policy mandates of the CRTC, nor are there signs that there has been a significant decline of televisions subscriptions through cable or satellite.

Since 1987, the CRTC has been involved in several controversial decisions:

Bell appealed both requirements, citing that the rules do not apply to cable companies and that they constituted proactive rate regulation by the CRTC, which goes against government official policy direction that the regulator only intervene in markets after a competitive problem has been proven.

It has also tried to protect Canadian culture by setting legal minimums on Canadian content in many media using bodies like the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ( CRTC ).< ref >

In recent years, a notable trend in Canadian radio has been the gradual abandonment of the AM band, with many AM stations applying for and receiving authorization from the CRTC to convert to the FM band.

In Canada, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ( CRTC ), has set August 31, 2011 as the date that over-the-air analog transmission service will cease in most parts of the country except in Northern Canada.

The CRTC has since revised its policy on digital radio to allow HD Radio operations pursuant to Public Notice CRTC 2006-160.

In September 2007, Rogers has also applied to the CRTC to acquire 20 per cent of CablePulse 24, a local news channel in Toronto which was previously paired with Citytv ( both stations were previously owned by CHUM Limited ) but was retained by CTVglobemedia in the June 8 licence approval.

Prentice claims the issue is being appropriately handled by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ( CRTC ), which has invited the general public to an open debate on net neutrality.

However, following a complaint filed by CTV in 2008, the CRTC has tightened up enforcement, issuing a statement that the Super Bowl XLIII standard and high definition broadcasts must be simsubbed for providers within range of CTV's OTA transmitters.

In a few isolated cases, the CRTC has permitted " triple-sticks ", or triopolies, where a single broadcaster operates three stations in a market.

On April 9, 2007, it was announced that Rogers Communications has filed with the CRTC to purchase all of the A-Channel stations, including CFPL, CKNX, CKX-TV, Access Alberta and several cable channels being put up for sale by CHUM Limited in the wake of CTVglobemedia's pending acquisition of the CHUM group.

However, it has decided to maintain the Wingham transmitter as a rebroadcaster of CFPL, pending CRTC approval.

In his testimony, Canwest president Leonard Asper blamed the current rules for the poor financial condition of Canada's broadcast television stations, a position which has subsequently been adopted and addressed through rule changes by the CRTC and FCC.

Unlike Radio One and Radio 3, Radio 2 is not carried by Sirius Satellite Radio ; the CRTC requires that a " Canadian " channel ( for the purposes of Sirius Canada ) must carry 85 % Canadian musical content, a requirement that has not been imposed on ( or met by ) the terrestrial network.

The sale of the Corus Québec stations has been approved by the CRTC on December 17, 2010, on the condition that Cogeco-owned CJEC-FM and Corus-owned CFEL-FM and CKOY-FM be sold to another party by December 2011.

The CRTC has yet to rule on this application.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ( CRTC ) has ruled that Heritage Minutes are an " on-going dramatic series " thus each minute counts as ninety-seconds of a station's Canadian content requirements.

Shaw Media has received approval from the CRTC to convert its Kelowna, Vernon, and Penticton transmiters to digital.

The sale of the Corus Québec stations to Cogeco has been approved by the CRTC on December 17, 2010, on the condition that Cogeco-owned CJEC-FM and Corus-owned CFEL-FM and CKOY-FM ( since re-called CJTS-FM ) be sold to another party by December 2011.
