611-747: The Video contributed towards the program category, and put MTV Canada over the 10% limit. The Commission also displayed a concern for the service's predominant focus on music programming, as it was at odds with its commitment to deliver a broadly teen-based service as licensed. In particular, the CRTC disputed MTV Canada's compliance with a requirement for 15% of its schedule to be devoted to "informal education/recreation & leisure" programming, as it did not include programming produced by "independent educational authorities", and consisted primarily of generic extreme sports programming and documentaries in overnight timeslots with low viewership and little to do with

Since mid-2007, Much and its affiliated channels have been under the same ownership, following CTVglobemedia's acquisition of CHUM Limited , making the former rival networks present-day sister channels. In March 2015, the CRTC announced it would no longer enforce conditions of licence related to programming for most specialty channels other than those primarily airing news or sports.

752-526: The allegations, arguing that music was an aspect of youth culture, and accusing CHUM of having counted any programming "that has some connection to the general topic of music or music videos" as "music video clips".

799-423: The announcement. CHUM released a statement saying that they would be intrigued as to how talktv could be morphed into MTV without violating its CRTC broadcasting licence, and filed a complaint with the CRTC.

1316-537: The designated Canadian channel dedicated to mainstream music.

2115-470: Was not explicitly required to receive analog carriage either, provided the provider had already launched digital services.
