Saskatchewan MP David Anderson: Entertainment Channels

entertainment channels: In his Sept. 4 letter to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, Saskatchewan MP David Anderson urges the regulator to take a "much more market driven approach" to both news and entertainment channels, according to Huffington Post. "Canadians deserve to be presented with a diversity of views when it comes to interpreting the news," writes Anderson, whose signature notes his position as a parliamentary secretary. "Sadly, only specific Canadian newscasters are now being guaranteed a convenient spot on basic cable." OTTAWA - A Conservative parliamentary secretary has intervened in the federal broadcast regulator's deliberations on carriage of all-news services just months after three colleagues landed in trouble for sending letters to the same court-like body. Failing that, he says, the CRTC should make all national news broadcasters equally available on the television dial and in cable packages. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
