CRTC dumps right-wing Sun News bid

Angus Wong —

Great news! Sun News’ bid to be on every TV in Canada was just rejected by the CRTC!

Close to 19,000 members of the SumOfUs.org community, along with tens of thousands of other Canadians, submitted comments to the commission speaking out against “Fox News North”, and we were heard! CRTC, the commission responsible for deciding which channels are included in the mandatory basic cable package, rejected the blatantly pro-Harper, anti-environment and racist channel’s bid to get an effective $20 million public subsidy.

As a Canadian, it’s exciting to see the impact our community is having on our media landscape.

Thanks for standing up for a free and fair media in Canada,
