CRTC & NASA TV

After some googling this week I was very disappointed to read this article. Apparently the CRTC has refused pleas from both cable providers and individuals to allow the broadcast of NASA TV to Canadian homes, on the technicality that the channel is foreign and would put providers over their limit for the amount of foreign material they are allowed to air.

Update: I filled in a web form on CRTC's website to inquire about this and was impressed with their response time. Within a few days I got a response back that linked to an article from a couple of months ago detailing their decision to allow NASA TV to be broadcast. Yay! Hopefully Rogers and others will get the channel into their lineup this year.
