The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has opened online public consultations to gather feedback on a request made by an LGBTQ rights advocacy organization asking for a ban on Fox News programming from Canadian cable television packages due to previous comments made by former Fox host Tucker Carlson.
Egale Canada wrote an open letter to the CRTC on April 4 asking Canada’s broadcast regulator to begin a “consultation on the appropriateness” of Fox News’ availability in cable packages, after Carlson said during a segment of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that some transgender people “seem to be mad, specifically at traditional Christians.”
