The CRTC gets a marathon of radio hearings underway Nov. 1, beginning with the three applications for subscription digital radio services. Two of the services are via satellite (Canadian Satellite Radio in partnership with SM Satellite Radio and a partnership of the CBC, SIRIUS Satellite Radio and Standard Radio) and one proposing wireless technology (CHUM).
Following these hearings, the CRTC has 38 other applications to decide. These include 16 for the Ottawa and Gatineau area from companies such as Astral Media, Global Communications, Corus, and Newcap.
