This publication is a companion volume to the Canadian Broadcasting Regulatory Handbook. Now in its fifth edition, this publication provides regulatory, ownership, financial and other information on each of Canada’s television programming services. It includes detailed information on conventional (free-to-air) TV stations and networks, Canadian specialty services, pay television, pay-per-view and video-on-demand services.

The information includes a summary of the chronology of licensing for the service; the applicable conditions of licence; expectations, commitments and undertakings made by or relating to the service that are still applicable; excerpts from past Canadian Radio-television & Telecommunications Commission licensing decisions; financial and subscriber information regarding the service; and ownership charts for the services. Over 175 television services are covered and all the information has been updated to April 1, 2010.

The handbook will be of interest to broadcasters, distribution undertakings, program producers, applicants, interveners, and many others who have occasion to study the Canadian broadcasting system, and to participate in CRTC proceedings.
