How do we fix it?

Better yet, how do we fix Canada?

Fun fact: "Are You Being Served?" was YTV's longest running program, running from 1988 to 2004.

If they brought back late night British comedies it would be a step in the right direction. They used to have something for everyone, but now the channel is purely for children 8 and under.

It's too late for that, best just to purge it now before the Chinks buy up enough real estate to push out the hipsters and the Durkas and turn it into a staging ground to launch an invasion.

It's hard to imagine now that this channel aired the North American premiere of Red Dwarf, or that it used to show the first seasons fully uncensored.

>how do we fix it?
more original programming
>b-but canadian animation is shit
that's how we tie back to >>94751773

The CRTC's broadcast laws discourage international competition and have grants in place to encourage local development with local talent. While on paper, this sounds great, what it does, in actuality, is allow animation studios to shit out low quality, cheap shows and receive guaranteed airtime. This was still true in the 90s, but flash was not yet as widespread, meaning companies had to put effort into their programming.

The solution today would be to lighten, if not outright remove the CRTC broadcast guidelines on Canadian Content, meaning programs would need to be WORTH running over american programs again.

Wait...Red Dwarf has censor worthy material?

It has some sexual language, the parallel universe episode is the only that's particularly raunchy though. It was just a surprise to see it on what is primarily a children's cartoon channel.

Honestly, all the "kids" channels in Canada need to redistributed among different owners again. It also doesn't help that the company that owns all of them also owns their own animation studio (Nelvana) and the company that makes animation software used in virtually every studio (ToonBoom).

And maybe if Netflix should pay their taxes, get recognized as a Canadian distributor and contributes to creating more CanCon.

> Canada, we don't need federal reserve requirements or silly things like antitrust
We should occupy you, institute a government elected by its citizens and have your shamelords publicly hanged

If you remove the CRTC regulations, all that would happen is every channel would have nearly 100% American programming (the rest being from various other countries, not Canada). TV is extremely expensive to produce, so only the biggest markets can afford to do so if it's not legally required.

This anon gets it, especially about splitting up the oligopoly. Canada is an extremely conservative if not outright libertarian country economically though, so both that and the Netflix tax are political non-starters.
