Just found out the Canadian Family Channel is shutting down in a couple of weeks. Makes me a little sad because I used to watch Disney shows on it growing up in the 90s. It's also another blow to the Canadian media landscape with after Teletoon being rebranded as Cartoon Network and YTV being so anemic these days. Another other Canadians on /co/ have memories of watching Family?
Imagine being Canadian lol.
I remember hearing that and being surprisedSuch is the consequences of both overregulation and underregulation, in my viewCanadian broadcasting is regulatory hell, best exemplified in the legal requirement to have a significant chunk of their schedule be Canadian programmingAt the same time they aren't regulating other areas so three or four companies own every channel and every cable systemIf there was more competition in both fields they could have at least lasted longer
