The Canada Media Fund (CMF) opened for business
on April 1, 2010.
As the content consumption behaviour of Canadians
evolves to include multiple devices and platforms, the
CMF has emerged as a catalyst for the creation and
promotion of content that can be consumed anytime,
anywhere. Created by Canada’s cable and satellite
distributors and the Government of Canada, the CMF
1994 Canada’s cable distributors propose to the
Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) establishment of a funding
initiative that would focus on facilitating the
production and broadcast of high-quality Canadian
television programs in under-represented
categories during peak viewing periods.
1995

and funding results.

goal of supporting the sustainable production of
successful, convergent television and digital media
content that is accessible to Canadians through
multiple platforms.
2010

for business.
