Revised list of non-Canadian programming services and stations authorized for distribution – Annual compilation of amendments

  1. In Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2011-399, the Commission replaced the lists of eligible satellite services with a simplified, consolidated list, which is currently known as the List of non-Canadian programming services and stations authorized for distribution (the list). The consolidated list came into effect 1 September 2011. Additionally, the Commission announced that it will periodically issue regulatory policies setting out the revised list that includes references to all amendments that have been made since the previous regulatory policy setting out the list that was issued.
  2. Accordingly, in Appendix 1 to this regulatory policy, the Commission sets out all amendments made to the list since the last compilation published in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2022-1. The non-Canadian programming services and stations authorized for distribution approved up to and including 21 December 2022 are set out in Appendix 2.
