Candian content is what it's called here. It may depend on the media form but I believe all radio has to be 25% or 30% canadian artists (someone correct me if I am wrong). Television also has this same restriction. Are there content laws similar to this enfored in your country? If so how much? And what do ya think of em? Also do you have a government run radio stations/tv stations. We got radio, provincial and nation tv aswell. |

Yeah, that's how it is up here in the Great White North. Same with TV, our stations make sure most of their content is Canadian. I guess that's OK, since we still get all the American networks, but, uh... Canadian-made music and TV is not that good... with exceptions, of course. But not many. |

We must also live with the fact that the Steriophonics, Catatonia and Super Furry Animals belong to us |

There are exceptions in canda. The real problem is that there are good canadian actors and whatever else has to do with film and television but they all go to the states and work in american tv leaving us with second rate canadian work becuase the best all went south. I think it is awfull for tv. In music it is sorta a toss up for me. We have government funded radio and tv to promote the culture. Forcing content on private business like it or not, I think goes against the charter of rights. |

i'm surprised to hear that other governments are restricting viewing content based on national programming. of course, i live in america where our major export is pop culture anyway! |
