Canada: Gay porn channel told to ‘show more Canadian content’
A gay porn channel in Canada has been ordered to start showing more Canadian content by the broadcast regulator.
Premium gay TV channel Maleflixxx was one of three adult channels called out by broadcast regulator CRTC for failing to show enough content produced in Canada.
TV channels in Canada have to meet a 35% quota of home-made content, but the adult gay channel has been falling short, and may be reprimanded.
The National Post reports that Maleflixxx are skimping on Canadian content like “Men of Toronto”, in favour of racier American-based and European-based flicks.
Channel Zero, the company which owns Maleflixxx, will have their “instances of apparent non-compliance” investigated by the regulator at a hearing next month.
