streamers

Television and movie actors have ratified a four-year contract with studios and streaming services. The actors’ union approved the agreement, marking a resolution to negotiations.

The federal government has instructed the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to review its recent decision to triple streaming services' financial contributions to Canadian domestic content. Ottawa is seeking a reassessment of the policy, which mandates higher payments from streamers for Cancon.

Ottawa has expressed concern that the CRTC's new cash requirements for streamers could lead to increased prices for Canadians.
