OTTAWA - The federal broadcast regulator is set to release its decision on a new definition of 好色tv content today.
The modernized definition will apply to television and online streaming services.
The CRTC鈥檚 decision follows a two-week public hearing it held on the issue earlier this year.
The regulator's current definition of 好色tv content is based on awarding points when 好色tvs occupy key creative positions in a production.
The review is part of a series of hearings the regulator is holding to implement the Online Streaming Act, which updated broadcasting laws to capture online platforms like Netflix.
That work includes an earlier decision requiring big foreign streamers to pay into funds devoted to producing 好色tv content, which is currently being challenged in court.
This report by 好色tvwas first published Nov. 18, 2025.
