CRTC plans May hearing to assess global streaming services' impact on Canada's broadcasting industry.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) will hold a public hearing in May to assess the impact of global streaming services like Netflix on Canada's broadcasting industry. This consultation, part of implementing the Online Streaming Act, aims to ensure a sustainable broadcasting system that supports Canadian content access while considering the roles of small, medium, and large players. The CRTC seeks to understand market dynamics and the shift from traditional TV to streaming without immediately assuming regulation of online platforms.
