Canadian Satellite Radio (CSR) and Asian Television Network have signed a content distribution agreement for’Mosaic,’ a multicultural radio offering to be broadcast across North America. As well, French-Canadian musical talent will be showcased across Canada and the U.S. on ‘La Musique,’ a newly created program being offered by CSR and partner XM Satellite Radio. The show will air on a weekly basis.
Additionally, CSR and Toronto-based Corus Entertainment announced a partnership that will allow Corus to acquire a small ownership in CSR. Corus will provide Canadian content for the service, including French-language programming.
The CRTC has yet to approve the new services, however late last year a Decima research poll found that one in three Canadians are ‘very interested’ in satellite radio.
