The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) is an independent public authority in Canada responsible for regulating and supervising broadcasting and telecommunications. Established in 1968, its main goal is to ensure that Canadians have access to a wide range of high-quality communication services. The CRTC also promotes Canadian content and protects consumer interests in the media and telecommunications sectors. The CRTC oversees various aspects of the industry, including licensing broadcasters, setting rules for cable and satellite services, and ensuring fair competition among telecommunications providers. It plays a crucial role in shaping the landscape of media and communication in Canada, adapting to new technologies and changing consumer needs.
