Ottawa, Ontario – December 6, 2023
Torres Media Group is proud to announce that Roxanne Guerin has been selected by the
Ontario Association of Broadcasters to appear on behalf of the association at the CRTC
hearing into modernizing the Canadian Broadcasting Sector. The hearing began on November
20 th and has heard from multiple presenters as the CRTC grapples with the question of how to
bring foreign online streamers into the Canadian Broadcast System
“We are pleased to have Roxanne appear before the CRTC to make our point that foreign
owned streaming companies have been profiting from unregulated access to the Canadian
and Quebec markets, siphoning advertising revenue and audiences without making financial
contributions to our system and culture” said Ed Torres, Group CEO.
Roxanne Guerin adds, “I’m proud to take this very important message to the CRTC. Radio
stations are of extreme importance to the communities we serve. We provide News and
emergency information at critical times, but we also support our communities through fund
raisers such as the radiothon for the hospital, the media foodbank drive and many other local
charities. The online streaming companies don’t do any of that outreach.”
Torres Media Group is an independent broadcaster that operates 3 FM radio stations in
Ontario, and one in Valleyfield, Quebec.
