Rogers doesn’t think broadcasters should get HDTV carriage fees as part of possible revisions to Canada’s Broadcasting Act. The cable operator asked the Canadian Radio-TV & Telecom Commission (CRTC) to “reject any over-the- air fee for carriage model.” The regulator should “maintain the requirement for over-the-air broadcasters to build digital transmission facilities and establish a fixed date for analog shut off,” said Rogers in comments on a CRTC rulemaking.
