In its 1995 transitional policy, the CRTC allowed a maximum of five programmes per multiplex, which prevented
broadcasters from offering an attractive choice of programmes on DAB. In 2006 in response to requests from broadcasters the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) agreed to change Canada’s 1995 transitional policy to allow more freedom to provide DAB only programmes to attract more consumer interest (i.e. more services per multiplex, use of L-Band, multimedia, subscription). There is no news on the future of regulation in this market.
