Thousands of Canadians have weighed in on a CRTC proceeding into banning Fox News from Canadian TV, and most appear to be in favour of ban.
If the CRTC bans Fox News, the channel will be taken out of cable packages and customers won’t be able to subscribe to it through their TV providers. The decision would not affect Canadians’ ability to access Fox News on the internet.
Fox News told the CRTC prohibiting the distribution of the channel would be “grossly disproportionate and unprecedented and would give rise to procedural fairness concerns.” It noted a 2004 case where the CRTC denied a broadcast licence application to a radio station followed nearly 100 complaints over five years, while there is currently only one complaint against Fox.
Fox also said banning the channel from distribution would be counter to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, as well as the Liberals’ recently-passed online streaming law, which Fox said “requires the Commission to exercise its authority in a manner consistent with ‘ensur[ing] freedom of expression and journalistic independence’.”
“The United States of America is Canada’s closest neighbour. We all have an interest in understanding the dynamics that shape its political climate.”Article content The Women’s Legal Education and Action Fund said the CRTC should consider the application in the context of an “unprecedented” spike in anti-trans violence and hate both domestically and globally.
