The Financial Post reports in its Thursday edition that as the Canadian broadcast system is upended by streaming, old-school media and telecom companies say they are struggling to compete and they want the country's broadcast regulator to take a lighter touch. The CRTC is holding consultations on how broadcasters can survive the shift away from traditional TV to international streamers. It is a part of the regulator's work on implementing the Online Streaming Act, which updated broadcasting laws to capture on-line platforms. The CRTC launched a consultation in January to study market dynamics as Canadians move from traditional broadcasting and cable -- which is subject to various CRTC rules and regulations -- to streaming services dominated by international giants like Netflix, Amazon and Disney+. Filings were due Monday and the CRTC also will hold a consultation hearing in May in Gatineau, Que. In its submission, Rogers argued rules implemented by the CRTC to govern the traditional cable and satellite TV markets are now putting those companies at a disadvantage against on-line streaming companies. BCE's Bell asked the CRTC to introduce new regulations on foreign streamers to promote Canadian and indigenous content.
