For failing to broadcast sufficient levels of Canadian-made pornography — and failing to close-caption said pornography properly — a trio of Toronto-based erotica channels has earned a reprimand from the Canadian Radio-television & Telecommunications Commission.
Wednesday, the CRTC issued a broadcast notice saying AOV Adult Movie Channel, XXX Action Clips and the gay-oriented Maleflixxx were all failing to reach the required 35% threshold for Canadian content.......


.....CRTC regulators also reprimanded Channel Zero for failing to provide sufficient close-captioning.


Media protectionism in action.

    It would be an interesting job doing the captioning, though I think the total number of words to be translated may be quite small.
    All I seem to hear is blah blah blah!

    And being in Canada, it would have to be in French & English if course.

    BTW, such local content rules are extremely common in many country's O&G industries.
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:
