Sun News is seeking approval for a Category 1 License from the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). This license aims to introduce Sun News’s new Hard News/Straight Talk format to a wide audience across Canada.
For over two decades, CBC News Network has maintained analog service status on the basic tier, while CTV News Channel has enjoyed similar status for 13 years on a high penetration tier. However, since 1997, the CRTC has not sanctioned a national Canadian voice.
Acquiring a Category 1 License would establish a fair playing field, granting Sun News a three-year window to introduce the “hard news/straight talk” format to Canadians. This initiative aims to provide viewers with diverse and comprehensive news coverage, ensuring they have access to a range of perspectives and insights.
