The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulates which television channels are allowed to air in Canada.

In order for a non-Canadian station/channel to broadcast in Canada it must first listed by the CRTC on the listed as authorized on the List of non-Canadian programming services authorized for distribution. Cable and satellite companies are only allowed to carry the foreign services that are contained in the list. Also, not every channel on the list is currently carried by BDU's, it is up to their discretion to decide what channels they are interested in offering to consumers. On June 30, 2011, the CRTC introduced new policy whereby the 'lists of eligible satellite services' would be consolidated into one list to be known as the 'List of non-Canadian programming services authorized for distribution'[1] List of non-Canadian programming services authorized for distributionAlthough the CRTC has combined all stations/channels together, the list below has been separated into sections to distinguish between the various types of services that are contained in the list.
