| It isn't government taxation, it's regulatory redistribution of funds that was not intended to be passed down to the consumer. The CRTC indicated the fee should be paid by the BDUs (Broadcast Distribution Units - like cable operators and direct broadcast satellite companies) for distribution to tv stations and networks to pay for local programming.
The fund is a scam produced by broadcasters who don't know how to manage their advertising business in the light of falling advertising revenues. |
