BROADCAST LICENCE RENEWALS
CRTC hearings into Rogers application to renew its broadcast licences are scheduled for Tuesday, April 8th in Gatineau, Quebec. Hundreds of Canadians submitted their thoughts on Rogers plans through interventions of support or opposition to the CRTC last month
Unifor has asked some important questions to both the CRTC and Rogers. What the Commission decides will affect our working lives in years to come. We will be posting many of the intervenor comments for you to review on our local web site: www.unifor830m.ca

LETS TALK TV
The CRTC has released Choicebook at: http://letstalktv.hkstrategies.ca/ It is a questionnaire that will guide the CRTC to the future of Canadian Television regulation. It is important for us to fill out this questionnaire in a way that shows the Commission we care about well funded local programming.
Unifor has created a guide to help you fill out the questionnaire at: http://www.unifor.org/en/tips-filling-out-crtc-lets-talk-tv-survey
