For the past
decade, WTM has been tracking the response of Canadians to its proposed
programming format. And, in 1996 it commissioned COMPAS Inc. a
market research company, to analyze this data. COMPAS reported
that:
- Enthusiasm
[for WTM's program format] is rampant in every region.
- Canadians'
enthusiasm appears affected by two considerations: misgivings
about the current menu of programming and a serious interest in
international programming.
- The vast
majority of Canadians agree that international programming should
be given preference over shows imported from the United States.
| 1986
- a multilingual service should be available across the country.
|
1991
- a multilingual / multicultural service should be available to
all Canadians. |
