Beginning next Monday, CPAC will provide live online coverage the CRTC’s “Policy proceedings on a group-based approach to the licensing of television services and on certain issues relating to conventional television.”
The federal broadcast regulator will hear from members of both the cable and satellite industry and over-the-air television broadcasters as they debate the future broadcast structure.
Viewers can watch the proceedings live, streaming from www.cpac.ca, during the weeks of November 16 and 23, 2009. Hearings are scheduled to begin at 9:30 am ET each day.
CPAC is a privately-owned, commercial free, not for profit, bilingual licensed television service. Created in 1992 by a consortium of cable companies, CPAC provides a window on parliamentary, political and public affairs in Canada and the world. Since 1992, the cable industry has invested close to $50 million in CPAC.
CPAC is delivered through cable, satellite or wireless distributors to over 10 million Canadian homes and worldwide via 24/7 live webstreaming and podcasts at www.cpac.ca.
