TORONTO, Mar 9, 2009 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --
CTVVF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- CTV welcomed the creation of the Canadian Media Fund today, following an announcement from the set of its hit series FLASHPOINT by the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages.

"In this ever-changing media landscape, we agree that all broadcasting regulations must be continually reviewed to ensure their ongoing relevance," said Ivan Fecan, President and Chief Executive Officer, CTVglobemedia and Chief Executive Officer, CTV Inc. "Congratulations to Minister Moore for recognizing the importance of audience success and for putting the audience first in the creation of this fund. All of us in media exist to serve the audience."

CTV produces the most-watched original programming in English Canada, achieving audience success at home while also helping propel series like FLASHPOINT and THE BRIDGE onto the world stage.

CTV also applauded the proposal striking down antiquated rules that prevented broadcaster investment in the creation of high-quality Canadian programs for both broadcast and digital platforms.
