VIA the WGC TWEET -- a tiny bit of good news for Canadian creatives heading into the weekend. A decision released today by the CRTC compels the Canadian broadcast groups to release what's known as their "disaggregated financial data."
Now the CRTC release is incomprehensible, and the argument is complicated, but what this basically means is that the nets won't be able to hide expenditures on Canadian Drama amidst a whole bunch of other spending. We'll finally be able to see what they're spending -- and this will make it a lot easier to make the WGC's case at the group license renewals in November.
We know that they spend as little as they possible can on giving Canadians something high quality and homegrown to watch -- but now we'll be able to show it by the numbers. And that of course will change everythinSSSNORT..hahah.
Damn. Almost got through it without laughing.
Have a great long weekend.
