To ensure that the definitions of television program categories still accurately capture all of the types of programs enjoyed by Canadians, the Commission sets out revised definitions for specific program categories. The Commission also sets out the procedure for identifying and updating the list of award shows that will qualify as programs of national interest, which is available on the Commission’s website. A complete list of the definitions including these revisions and this procedure can be found in the appendix to this document.
