CRTC approves Canadian porn channel, must have 50% 'domestic porn' Print E-mail
Written by Darcey   
Friday, 15 August 2008

Unreal but you can't help but laugh. The CRTC stick it wherever they can to whoever they can:

A Canadian pay-television pornography channel — which is pledging to show least 50 per cent domestic content at night — has been approved by federal regulators this week, but it must now try to convince cable and satellite companies to carry the service.

The digital channel, which is to be called Northern Peaks, was approved Wednesday by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, after Alberta-based Real Productions first applied for the licence in October, 2007.

In its application, the company said the proposed service would be "Canada's first adult video channel offering significant Canadian adult content." Northern Peaks will produce its own movies, in addition to events and series from Canada, the company told the regulator.

"During each broadcast year, the licensee shall devote not less than 50 per cent of the evening broadcast period to Canadian programming," say CRTC documents outlining the decision. (Globe and Mail)

As long as Can-con is in place to help build/protect the Canadian porn industry, the government's moral duty is done. smilies/shocked.gif

Actually to ensure this controlled substance (porn) is distributed in a responsible manner and all the appropriate "sin tax" is collected, the gummint should just monopolize the porn retail industry...they already have gambling, tobacco, Pot and alcohol monopolies all that's left is porn and prostitution...go fer it Nanny...you know you want it.

When Saint Pierre said the government had no business in the bedroom of the nation, I assumed he meant ANY bedroom, even those on a porn movie set, guess I was wrong.

As resident philosopher WLMR said, government might as well go for broke, add whorehouses to pot smoking gambler's dens, all with the Red Maple Leaf over the entrance, and watch the money roll in.

Any pretense of morality is a sorry joke by our overlords. smilies/sad.gif

btw, do you thing the cable monopolies will offer this on a thirty day free trial, like they did with TSN? What channel? Just asking.

Worked in radio in Timmins, Ontario years ago and got the "opportunity" to make some quick cash spinning tunes for the peelers at one of the local strip joints.

I remember this clearly as I had produced the ads for said club that promoted bringing in "strippers from Montreal." Big selling point, that.

Not sure where in Montreal they came from but I'm thinking the gene pool was a touch thin in their neighbourhood.

I lasted the one night. Couldn't go back. If I had it would have given me "the gay."

Seriously, apart from one visit out of curiousity in college the only reason I went back to any strip joint with my friends was because of the cheap and abundant eats and beer.

Strippers? phah!

Give me a hot roast beef sandwich piled high, a mess of fries and a cold beer for $5.

Now THAT'S something worth advertising.

Ok, that was slightly off topic but at least there was some aspect of Canadian sex to it...even if it wasn't porn.

Give 'em a break, guys. Maybe this is part of their strategy to get more Canadian women into the workforce. Give us more opportunities for employment. I wonder if Status of Women is behind this somewhere. And I am raising daughters in this country. Sure makes things look bleaker. smilies/cry.gif

mm...in this country...the porn industry will no doubt have to pander to the great canadian mosaic...

visible minority sex...disability sex...all kinds of hyphenated canadian sex...

then there'll be the the gay and lesbian lobby demanding equal representation...

and then after all that...having to pass the hrc overlords...

on the bright side...this is about the only time the islamic lobby won't ask for special status...

Ok, I won't tell you how, but I do know. Canadian porn makers are high up on the scum (no pun intended) ladder(s). There will be no problem filling a 50% Canadian Content Quota. In fact, there will be an overflow, so to speak.

No problem in meeting those niche needs (sounds like some sort of fetish no?): the disabled, amuputees, the odd (so many categories there), gay and lesbian porn (tons of that crap already, albeit home made); and RAISE, those over the hill girls continue to be in demand don't give up future career plans so quickly smilies/grin.gif And for the aging senior male, there is already a guy called "The Dirty Old Man" (more Canadian content with an international flavor) who is a celeb. But, there might be room for more at the In.

As to those minority groups, they are already represented. Our immigrant groups know where to get those quick (pardon me) hard bucks (literally speaking of course). The muslims? I could swear an Affidavit that they are definitely In with the In crowd (again, literally). Just not sure how halal it might be. However, equal opportunity is what it is all about. No discrimination nope, not in Ooooooh Ohhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ooohhhhhhhhhhh Canada.

Will Heritage Canada be funding our new porn channel? Call me suspicious but could this be another "Liberal" scam to get strippers into Canada posing as porn stars?

ya well RAISE, re-mem-ber the Japanese OLD porn guy item posted on the Broom a few weeks ago? His lady partner was not much younger smilies/cheesy.gif and "they" (the ever present "they") are encouraging geriatric sex saying it's good for health. In other words, "there will be a hot time in the old fecks folks' home tonight" Whippeee ding.

yes, Darcey, ON SET ID (that is mandatory by law to prove a number of things - one being legal age of "the star" - photocopies of the ID, Releases and waivers are kept on file. A "better" porn company should be able to produce a brief audio video record of the star(s) (in clothing) with a copy of the ID, waiver/s, Release/s with verbal acknowledgement of same including the agreement and understanding of the specific film project, page by page by page. It's all gotta be legal. No ID, no show (literally). A prolific "star" can build up quite a library of "ID/waivers etc" which in my opinion are often better than the actual show itself. But hey, that's just me. And no, it was not me (jest in case someone might think I am a show girl).

"Northern Peaks' broadcast day will start at 6 a.m. and run a full 24-hours," the company told the CRTC in its application
... "6 a.m. and run a full 24-hours"? What time zone? Is someone going to monitor this to ensure the 6am start time? How can they tell?

Well, I think the CBC could do well to sell some stuff to the network. I mean, just re-image "Mr. Dressup" to the cross-dressing crowd, "The Friendly Giant" to the size queens (and kings). "Everything's Coming Up Rosie" just writes itself. "Little Whorehouse on the Prairie". And CTV can get into the act with "Fleshpoint".

Seriously, though, from what I know about the porn industry (not that much, really. Really.), the female stars make way more than the male stars.

Forget on site age verification. What about wage discrimination? Will there be a Royal Commission on Discriminatory Stud Fees?

I liked this bit:

Northern Peaks would also have to ensure it close captions all of its programs.


Is this bilingual captioning? Is there a guideline for how many letters in "UNNNNNNNHHHHHH!"?

the female "stars" do make waaay more than the male props. smilies/cheesy.gif but on a day to day basis, at least in ooooh oooooooooh canaaaaada none of them make a lot of money. The American porn stars make more. For example in Canada (locally made) male porn actors might get $50 doing the same film with a female who might get $150.00. For an extra $50 either one or both can earn extra money for "extras" *and because I find some of the "extras" particularly repugnant I won't bother mentioning what the extras may consist of but suffice to say 100 times that amount would not be enough to convince me (least of all me) to consider doing the extra (not as if I do the basics either - my clothing gets in the way).

Oh and I forgot to mention the (rather useless in some cases) health certificates that are mandatory for some production companies?

In addition to hardcore pornography, he says he is big on "making fun of the porn industry," and that Northern Peaks will feature tongue-in-cheek reality programming that shows the "ridiculous" side of the business.

#2 Co-Produce Your Own XXX Video
If you're looking for something a little bit more, er, hands-on, this is for you. If you've ever watched an xxx video and thought, 'I can do better than that!', here's a chance to put your money where your mouth is. You provide the script. We'll provide the models, equipment and crew. You'll co-produce and direct the video. We'll manufacture and market it for you. As a shell-shocked Jenna Satcher commented recently, "Some of our wildest videos are being made this way. You guys are sick!"
