Measuring our Canadian Content
Regulatory requirements for Canadian content on television are specified by the CRTC, which sets expectations of service for ICI Radio-Canada Télé and CBC Television1. For the whole broadcast day, a minimum of 75% Canadian content is expected. For prime time, a minimum of 80% Canadian content is expected. Both measures are averages over the entire broadcast year from September 1 to August 31. As shown in the table below, in the 2012–2013 broadcast year and in the previous year, ICI Radio-Canada Télé and CBC Television exceeded the CRTC’s Canadian content expectations, both over the whole day and in prime time. Increased Canadian programming is key to Strategy 2015.
