Community Media Education Society

... some of our letters to the CRTC.

In January 2001 we recognize that the cable companies don't want to create community television..."and they shouldn't have to." Your community will.

CRTC Community TV Policy Review

The CRTC has posted almost 3,000 comments and interventions on the community channel review, Broadcasting Notice of Consultation CRTC 2009-661. The last major review was CRTC 2002-61 seven years ago.

For the CRTC 2010 Review of Community Television Hearing, C.M.E.S. first submitted a comment and then spoke up for neighbourhood participation through the CACTUS model of multimedia centres. C.M.E.S. also supports a Community Access Media Fund for community TV.

For background on international community TV, read Community Television Policies and Practices Around the World.
