GATINEAU, Que. — Canada’s broadcasting regulator is granting Corus Entertainment Inc. 's request to ease some of its Canadian content spending requirements after the company warned of an increasingly dire financial situation.
The CRTC says the emergency request was reasonable because it was tailored to Corus’ specific circumstances, noting that company's spending on programs of national interest is among the highest of all private broadcasters.But it says requests from other broadcasters for regulatory relief, including those relating to local news and Canadian programming requirements, will be dealt with as part of its ongoing consultation to modernize the Canadian broadcasting framework.
Months before his arrest in Russia, U.S. Army soldier Gordon Black made a surprise video call from his overseas tour in South Korea to his 6-year-old daughter in Texas. Instead of a normal chat, however, his daughter and wife witnessed a fight break out between Black and his Russian girlfriend that became bloody, said his wife, Megan. Screaming turned to violence, with his girlfriend clawing at his face.
Nearly 40 years ago human remains were found on a beach in St. Johns County, Florida. This week, authorities identified those remains as a woman who was last seen by her family in 1968.
