Sun TV News now plans to launch in Canada without any special help from the federal broadcast regulator. The planned 24-hour all-news network was pitched by Quebecor Inc. as an alternative to channels such as CBC News Network and CTV News Channel, which the Montreal-based company characterized as too politically correct and “boring.” On Tuesday, after a speech in Ottawa, Quebecor chief executive officer Pierre Karl Péladeau said the company would withdraw its request to the CRTC for an exception to the rules of its licence that would have made Sun TV News available to more Canadians.
