[HCDX] CRTC releases its annual Broadcasting Policy Monitoring Report
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has
released its sixth annual Broadcasting Policy Monitoring Report. This report
assesses the impact of its regulations, policies and decisions on the
Canadian broadcasting industry, in light of the objectives of the
Broadcasting Act. Beginning this year, publication has been moved up several
months so that data contained in the report will be available to the
Canadian public and the regulated industries on a more timely basis.
The report deals with the radio, television, and broadcast distribution
sectors, as well as social issues and the Internet.
Radio:
Canadians have access to 1,158 radio services, of which 867 are in English,
253 are in French, and 38 are in third languages.
In 2004, Canadians listened to radio an average of 19.5 hours per week,
which represents the same number of hours as in 2003.
Revenues for Canadian private radio stations exceeded $1.2 billion in 2004,
and profits before interest and tax came in at $224 million.
Since the adoption of the CRTC's commercial radio policy in 1998, Canadian
radio stations have spent more than $156 million on Canadian talent
development.
