The federal broadcast regulator, after being slapped with legal action by BCE Inc. on Thursday, is giving the television industry an extra week to craft submissions regarding regulatory changes that would allow the country's largest TV networks to charge cable and satellite companies for their signals.
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission said Friday interested parties now have until Aug. 17 to submit their arguments in advance of September hearings regarding so-called fee-for-carriage legislation. Initially, interested parties had until Monday to make their submissions.
"The Commission requires time to consider the implications of the litigation for the current proceeding," the CRTC said in a statement.
