I Am Canadian (Enough): CRTC Reviews The Regs
Saturday March 6, 2004 11:15 AM - 12:15 PM
Westin Harbour Castle Hotel

We hear loud whispers about an increase in CanCon to 45% at the CRTC's next review of radio. If radio is regulated to play more CanCon, but the multi-nationals are not legislated to produce it - where will it come from? Will 45% give new artists a shot in the arm? Or does it just mean more CanCon gold? Or will radio burn out the big, new artists that much faster? Expect lively discussion as various industry sectors weigh in on the issues.
