Given its exceptional nature, the CRTC has set the bar very high for obtaining a mandatory distribution order. The CRTC’s policy requires that a service seeking such an order must clearly demonstrate its exceptional nature and that it achieves important public policy objectives under the Broadcasting Act.

The applications from the following services were denied, not having successfully demonstrated to the CRTC that they met the criteria for a mandatory distribution order:

Accents
All Points Bulletin
Canadian Punjabi Network
Described Video Guide
Dolobox TV
EqualiTV
Fusion
Maximum Television Canada
Starlight: The Canadian Movie Channel
Sun News Network
La télévision des ressources naturelles
Vision TV
