Canadian content

Canadian content (abbreviated CanCon, cancon or can-con; French: contenu canadien) refers to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) requirements, derived from the Broadcasting Act of Canada, that radio and television broadcasters (including cable and satellite specialty channels) must produce and/or broadcast a certain percentage of content that was at least partly written, produced, presented, or otherwise contributed to by persons from Canada. For radio airplay the percentage is 40% and television is 55% yearly and 50% daily (CBC has a 60% CanCon quota). CanCon also refers to that content itself, and, more generally, to cultural and creative content that is Canadian in nature.
