The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission is renewing CBC’s licensing, with tweaks to its mandate that will require it to spend money on programming produced by people with disabilities, indigenous and racialized people and the LGBTQ community.
The CRTC is dropping the requirement for CBC to maintain minimum thresholds of local programming in urban markets where Canadians have multiple options, but it’s maintaining those thresholds in rural parts of the country.
