More than 200 TV and radio stations in Canada may go bankrupt in the next 3 years

Disney said it will be closing several stores

The advertising revenue of Canadian local television and radio stations has fallen sharply. CTV

[Sing Tao Comprehensive Report] There are reports that more than 200 TV and radio stations in Canada will close their businesses in the next three years.
 
The Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) published a research report on Wednesday that pointed out that by the end of 2022, the revenue of private TV
and radio stations in the country is expected to shrink by 1.06 billion yuan,
leading to potential closures and major layoffs.
 
The report predicts that in the next three years, as many as 40 TV stations
and 200 radio stations may be forced to close.
 
According to the report, the most vulnerable are the country’s AM radio stations and independent private radio and television services that occupy a smaller market.
 
The study, titled "Canada's Media Crisis and the Future of Local Broadcasting", was commissioned by CAB. CAB said it is concerned about the sharp drop in advertising revenue from local radio stations in recent months.
 
The report pointed out that radio stations may be hit hardest in the short term, partly because many advertisers have withdrawn their spending during the pandemic, which has accelerated the decline in revenue in the media industry. Private radio station advertising revenue is expected to decrease by 383 million yuan from last year.
 
The study warns that without further government support, as many as 50 private local radio stations will be closed in the next four to six months, and in the next 18 months, there will be another 150 radio stations. Closed doors, resulting in as many as 2,000 unemployment.
 
Research predicts that among the 94 private television broadcasters in Canada, approximately 40 television stations may face a similar fate.
 
CAB calls on the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC) to act quickly to build a fairer and more sustainable future for local media.
