Yes (”CanCon“), and it’s directly responsible for the awesomeness that was Bob and Doug Mackenzie.

Yes ("CanCon"), and it's directly responsible for the awesomeness that was Bob and Doug Mackenzie. (It's also responsible for a lot of weirdness and stupidity, like a Bryan Adams album being determined to not quality as Canadian).

Evan, isn’t there a Canadian radio rule about having to play at least x% of Canadian artists?

They just need to get this into Canada and we’ll be set.

Of course, it will never happen. At best, Rogers will create a Canadian version of it that pales in comparison but promotes the Toronto Blue Jays exclusively.

I want the MLB Network, dammit, and the stupid Canadian regulations are going to help Rogers keep it from me.

I hate the CRTC. It’s like the FCC if they were afraid of foreigners instead of boobs.

I turned it on later and caught Reynolds, Leiter, Larkin, and Jimmy Rollins analyzing Jackie Robinson’s famous steal of home in the world series. That was a cool segemnt.
