Local Programming Improvement Fund (LPIF)
- Definition
- A fund established by the Commission to ensure that viewers in smaller Canadian markets continue to receive a diversity of local programming, particularly local news programming; to improve the quality and diversity of local programming broadcast in these markets; and to ensure that viewers in French-language markets are not disadvantaged by the smaller size of those markets. The fund will be made available to stations serving markets in which the population with a knowledge of the official language of the station (i.e., English or French), as defined by Statistics Canada, is less than one million. The LPIF will be funded through a contribution by licensed Class 1 terrestrial broadcasting distribution undertakings and direct-to-home undertakings.
