on Monday, November 16, 2009 - 06:43 PM |
Rogers today appeared before the CRTC to argue against the imposition of a TV tax. The Commission has reviewed the issue twice before at hearings in 2006 and 2008 and rejected the proposal.
The Rogers panel which included President and CEO, Nadir Mohamed, Vice Chair, Phil Lind and Rogers Media President, Tony Viner, stated in its opening address "that Canada's conventional television sector is not in a state of crisis" and its business model is not broken. The company went on to argue that there is no rationale whatsoever for the proposed payment which would amount to a bailout for the TV networks.
