radio - ANSWER✔✔ Terrestrial radio: AM/FM stations on local or national
broadcast.
Internet radio: Digital stations without physical limitations (e.g. Pandora).
Old-fashioned AM/FM radio remains the biggest mass-reach medium in the US,
with more than 90% of consumers listening on a weekly basis. That percentage has
stayed strong even in the face of the explosive growth of music streaming; it was
96% back in 2001
"For many people, the availability of so much music has led to what some
academics and analysts call the tyranny of choice," explains Larry Miller, director
of the music business program at New York University's Steinhardt School.
"You're confronted with all the music in the world but what the hell are you
supposed to listen to? Somebody tell me! What's good?"
Spotify, the leading music-streaming platform, made waves a short while ago when
it dropped Discover Weekly, a clever algorithm-driven playlist that is continually
refreshed with recommendations for the listener.

via radio waves over a wide geographic area, to cater to a wide audience.
1922: Canadian radio began with the first licenses awarded for private commercial
radio stations. However, by the late 1920s, many Canadian radio listeners were
switching their dials to American stations rather than the burgeoning Canadian
ones.
In the 1920s, it is estimated that approximately 80% of Canadians' listening time

Canadian audience.

canadan braodcasting act 1932 - ANSWER✔✔ Most importantly, the Aird
Commission recommended the creation of a public broadcasting network and, after
three years of debate, the Federal Government formally enacted the Canadian
Radio Broadcasting Act (1932). The Act stated that Canada would have a mixed
broadcasting system, consisting of both public and private radio stations.
The Act also authorized the creation of the Canadian Radio Broadcasting
Commission (CRBC), which went to air in 1933.
The CRBC's mandate was twofold:
to regulate and control all broadcasting activities in the country; and
to provide a national broadcasting service.
formation of the cbc - ANSWER✔✔ The CRBC, however, proved to be a failure.
It angered some listeners by broadcasting in both French and English on the same
channel, and other listeners by airing content deemed to be politically biased and
socially insensitive. Consequently, in 1936, the Broadcasting Act was amended
and the CRBC was replaced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).
in 1958, the Federal Government revised the Broadcasting Act once again and
transferred regulatory power away from the CBC to an independent regulatory
body, the Board of Broadcast Governors (BBG). The BBG would regulate both the
private broadcasters and the CBC.
,In 1968, the BBG itself was replaced by the Canadian Radio-Television
Commission (CRTC).
regulations of canadian content - ANSWER✔✔ CRTC to put commercial radio
policy framework under the microscope
The CRTC will review the policy framework surrounding commercial radio in
Canada, including media consolidation rules, quotas of Canadian content and
limits on the amount of top 40 songs that can be played in Ottawa and Montreal,
the regulator has announced.
"In order to establish a flexible regulatory framework that allows commercial radio
to continue to respond in a relevant and effective manner to the current and future
needs and interests of Canadians, the Commission wishes to initiate this
proceeding... through a conversation with Canadians addressing, among other
things, the programming broadcast by this sector," the regulator said.
cancon quotas - ANSWER✔✔ Despite the CRTC's implementation of CanCon
music quotas in the 1970's, Canadian artists still faced challenges in getting
adequate exposure. This was because many Canadian radio stations would relegate
their Canadian music selections to off-peak listening hours, such as late evenings,
overnight on weekdays and early Sunday mornings. In these blocks, satirically
referred to as "beaver hours", the music played would be almost exclusively
Canadian, thus significantly reducing the amount of Canadian songs that would
have to be played during peak listening hours to satisfy the regulations.
the CRTC also imposed regulations stipulating that CanCon music percentages
must be met between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. thus outsmarting the detrimental benefits of
the beaver hours.
qualifying as canadian content - ANSWER✔✔ M (music) - the music is composed
entirely by a Canadian;
A (artist) - the music is, or the lyrics are, performed principally by a Canadian;
, P (performance) - the musical selection consists of a performance that is recorded
wholly in Canada, or performed wholly in Canada and broadcast live in Canada;
L (lyrics) - the lyrics are written entirely by a Canadian.
french language quotas - ANSWER✔✔ The CRTC also imposes quotas to help
maintain a French-language presence on radio and provide exposure for
francophone artists
French-language stations must also devote at least 65% of all Popular Music
broadcast each week to French-language selections. Commercial radio stations
must ensure that at least 55% of the Popular Music broadcast between 6:00 a.m.
and 6:00 p.m. Monday to Friday consists of French-language selections.
