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
Hopefully the station now dies. That's probably the only way to get my father in law and brother in law to stop getting their perspectives on the new molded by it.
