CRTC formalizes Canadian content rules for streamers, raises programming funding requirement
The CRTC has established new rules for online streaming services in Canada, mandating increased support for Canadian and Indigenous content. Streamers will now be required to contribute 15 percent of their Canadian revenue to a domestic programming fund, a significant increase from the previous 5 percent. These changes come amid ongoing debates about the impact of such regulations on trade relations with the U.S. and the Canadian entertainment industry.
