Sun TV gets go ahead to operate new 24-hr conservative news service
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA - Canadians are about the get a third 24-hour English-language cable news channel, and it's one that plans to shake up the industry.
The CRTC has approved a five-year licence for Sun TV news service — referred to by critics as Fox News North — to go into direct competition with CBC's Newsworld and the CTV News Channel.
The federal regulator's green light was considered a sure thing after Quebecor Inc. dropped its request for a special licence that would have required cable and satellite carriers to offer the service.
The Category 2 competitive licence means the new station will need to negotiate with cable and satellite carriers for a place on their line-up.
