demands is Jomo Kenyatta (in-

Led in this province by the
Vancouver Sun, a nation-wide
big business campaign is under
way to cripple the Canadian
Broadcasting ‘Corporation’s in-
fant television system. Aim of
the campaign is no less than
handing over the multi-million
dollar television field to mono-
poly interests. In effect. it
means placing Canadian televi-
sion ‘under the domination of

Broadcasting System and Na-
tional Broadcasting System.
Strategy of the campaign is
‘already clear. At the coming
session of parliament, M'P’s will
be asked to appropriate several
million dollars for TV outlets

the Maritimes. Then supporters
of the campaign will attack the
policy of establishing the CBC
in television before allowing
privately-owned TV outlets. The
CBC will be accused of bungling,
squandering its initial $8 mil-
lion appropriation and wasting
taxpayers’ money.

Aidvocates of private owner-
ship will argue that Canadian,
TV audiences are being depriv-
ed of American big name shows
by the CBC and are turning away
from the CBC’s recently opened

Stations, CBLT, Toronto, and

FBFT, Montreal, to U.S. sta-
tions.

Actually. American TV inter-
ests, referring contemptuously
to Canadian television as ‘‘col-

lege boy’’ entertainment, are at-
tempting to hold up the CBC by
demanding 70 percent of all rev-
enue time derived. from _ pro-
grams originating in the U.S.
Their hope is to undermine the
CBC and force establishment of
private TV outlets in Canada
through which they can mono-
polize the micro waves in this
country.

Couched in terms of Cana-
dianism, as in the Vancouver
Sun’s special articles, the cam-
paign is actually designed to de-
stroy independent Canadian
television by opening the TV
field in this country to Ameri-
can domination of privately-own-
ed. outlets which would be large-
ly dependent on U.S. shows.
