On the recent times, a Montreal-based FM radio of the webradio QUB was launched without that the CRTC interverne the newer born that such "official" licence have to be made before to be airing. It only make worsen the fate of the Canadian council, them, who close their eyes to the loot of "unauthorized" radios stations you could found anywhere while doing your groceries, shopping, deposit money, searching your meds or ordering foods on your Doordash app. It's like says that intellectual property and respect of ownership are a thing from a very prehistoric time.
But to Canadian artists, who grew sick of the lack of exposure by the likes of Spotify and Apple, the CRTC have to play their role of supporter, which means, linear radios stations are obliged to ran Franco-music and the english-Canadian ones in respective hours. In the older days, all our Televisions were forced to investing on Canadian content; an act that is likely less respected in the 2024s world when Netflix or Disney+ leads all the whole entertainment industry.
Even columnists from anywhere start to miss the days when youths contents that used to playing were fresh and innovative. The loss of VRAK last year have hit hard to the fact most of the Z, Alpha kids et all, have none ideas that a Quebec television exists, that it's also their duty to follow them and help them in their job. Because the CRTC have wasting over ten years of talks and briefings, when cord-cutters are many due to the agressiveness and madcap attitude of TVs commercials and that for own the channels you wanna watch, you have to paid for gets the contents. Something tells me that the streamings of 2024 start to act strangely like in the Cable/Digital era, whom they started to ran commercials in order to justify the costs of the materials they have to produced.
Because yeah, the kids of now, those from my nephews/nieces generation, have never known the likes of VRAK or Teletoon if their parents are not that interested to paid for something they wouldn't consummed on regular basis. On this, it's hard to blame them. We need to stop blame the kids for not seen the shows made for them. Because most of them, they have videogames, they play outside, sessions, training, play sports and all. For a youth adult student, the time is not to spending on pointless fillers on Prime, but to think of its studies and achieving the most greatest career at possible. For that, the CRTC and their "antiquated" rules are eerily disconnected of the reality of Canadians, from all Provinces and territories.
An all-Canadian radio station that will be regularly plays on any stores is nearly impossible. But the other factor is the matters of ownership and intellectual property that these radio stores don't even tent to respect it. On this age of cultural blandness, one have to wonder the point to plays lots of monotonous, auto-tunes and badly synthetized music shit from France when you have many of our composers who want only to be recognized for their work and implications to society. If art is an essential service for people, it would be best if it was that simple. Because lots of times, arts appear at a luxury, unlike the paramedics, education, mass-transit, environnement, health and security that not only are essential for all of us, but are those you seen them in the Front Lines. The artists have not this mandatory, so these explanations are rather pointless.
When YouTube and company are forced to follow the CRTC requirements to pay their part of taxes while doing business here, the former have launch an advertising campaign for claims that we will going to pay more for justify the obligatory "taxes" the tyrannic CRTC impose to the Digital web monopolies. YouTube is the most popular and seen video-sharing site by be in existence for less than twenty years. Such a revolutionnary thing in 2005 became nowadays a menace for any sense of actual exposure or that the Digital streamers are a real sieve for our medias and economy, in the same way than the CRTC and their "dusty" acts.
