Today's CRTC decision will give better access to Francophones living across Canada than they had before. Nouveau TV5 and AMI TV en Francais will now be included in all basic cable packages across Canada. AMI TV offers television services such as described video for those who are blind or partially sighted, a service which has been offered in English across Canada for the past 5 years.

In addition, controversial Sun News Channel was denied its application to be included in the mandatory distribution package.
