The CRTC also reduced the amount of Canadian content the stations were required to air. This will allow more USA based shows to be aired in Canada. It is too bad as it was a favourite.

It shows that a couple fat Arsed network/CRTC execs with a liberal/PETA agenda can make these decisions based on their own biases.... The only thing we can do is name these imbeciles and email blast and call call over again until they either get fired or make changes, we of course PAY their salaries!!!!
This is gods country, grown on a TRADITION of fishing, hunting, and trapping, and I'll be damned if I let some hidden agenda morons dictate what I pay to watch. This is in all our hands...
There is no hidden agenda, the networks give the customers what they want and there just is not the demand. There are others that will pay bigger bucks to have there show put in that time slot and the ratings reflect that.Quote:

Well I'm a working man like a lot of people on here, and some weekends aren't available to do anything but hang around with the fam. Listen, I pay for what I watch, people have that choice now dont you know???
So fishing and hunting is a multi-billion dollar industry in Canada with almost zero representation on cable networks, and I'm being told there is no interest in a show that airs one a week? Well perhaps I'm in the minority here but these people in the media are the ones that have the power to sway peoples conceptions in one way or another, simple as that. Perhaps yoi can let them walk all over you, but I'll be six feet under before I allow this to happen to me.
Now go start a fight against pit-bull laws or something.
No TV for 4 years now and we are doing just great. Kodi and You tube, that's all you need....Quote:

One last time "the folks that produce these shows have to pay for the air time" It's not provided to them.... the guys then producing the show generate revenue from sponsors and sell air time to showcase there products or feature spots in the episodes.
It's a business Richie... now go put your foil hat back on.
CRTC isn't involved here. It's a network decision to go for broader audience appeal. That's just the market at work.
In a round about way they are....the CRTC policy/rules to air Canadian content gave shows like CITR an opportunity to be on the air in the first place. Networks were, in simpler terms, forced to fill air time with them.Quote:

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) dropped the Canadian content requirement for television stations to operate in Canada, further hurting their chances. In March of 2015, the CRTC announced it had dropped the Canadian content requirement for non-prime-time hours from 55 percent to zero. That’s right: ZERO.
