Moses Znaimer battling to keep Vision TV's choice spot on the dial

The Globe's Steve Ladurantaye reports on Moses Znaimer's battle to keep Vision TV in the "must carry" (a.k.a  "viewers must pay") slot on the dial:

"Tens of thousands of Canadians wake up early each day to watch Mass on Vision TV, but when Catholics around the world were learning about their new Pope, the only channel in Canada dedicated to matters of faith was showing a 13-year-old rerun of a short-lived television series.
The channel, part of Moses Znaimer’s ZoomerMedia empire, has enjoyed a guaranteed spot on Canadian televisions for the last 25 years, but could lose the designation as the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission takes a new look next month at which channels must be included in basic cable and satellite packages. That placement is vital to Vision’s survival – $8.6-million of its $26-million in revenue comes from mandatory subscription fees from Canadian television subscribers.
