Yet to date, Canada has not given go ahead to Fox news to be shown on cable.
Is Canada sure aljeezer will not send coded messages to terrorist cells in Amercia?
Question: does Canada feel Fox news is more dangerous than aljeezer?
I am still trying to understand all the hoopla over this Fox news issue, Canada and the CRTC have not made any decision on this issue as of yet. I can't find anything where it states the CRTC is objecting to this. The only thing I found on their web site is a request for submissions..
http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Notices/2004/pb2004-45.htmIn fact on 24 November 2000, the Commission approved a Category 2 specialty television service to be known as Fox News Canada.
http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/2000/DB2000-565.htmThis service was suppose to be implemented in December 2003 but was not, Global Television Network applied for an extension and it was granted. However Fox News (USA) wrote a letter in March of this year and stated "Fox News does not intend to implement this service and therefore will not meet the extended deadline to commence operations."
I gather they don't want to agree to the Canadian content that the CRTC is interested in and have no applied to broadcast via satellite.
I don’t see this being an issue, they will hold the hearings and I imagine Fox will get approval (again), in the mean time stop sending all your damn satellite signals over the border...
