Canadian content development
|
|
4.
|
In the past, the Commission has approved Canadian content development (CCD) contributions directed to the Canadian Association of Ethnic Broadcasters' (CAEB) catalog of ethnic recordings. However, the Commission is of the view that the CAEB catalog, in its present state, does not effectively support or promote Canadian ethnic artists. Accordingly, the CAEB catalog cannot be considered to be an eligible recipient of CCD funding in accordance with Commercial Radio Policy 2006, as set out in Broadcasting Public Notice 2006-158.
