Multicultural Channel for Canadians

If OMNI Television succeeds in its application to operate a new national multilingual and multicultural channel called OMNI Regional, it will be the first of its kind in Canada.

The national channel would have four feeds: Pacific, Prairies, and East, which would mirror OMNI’s local stations in those regions. If approved, OMNI Regional would have priority access to basic TV packages. Current local OMNI stations in Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver would continue to operate as free over-the- air channels, as would ICI’s local station in Montreal.

“We believe our application offers a win-win solution: Canadians get low-cost access to quality news and information programming in their language of comfort no matter where they live, and OMNI and its community and production partners get a stable revenue source that we can use to build a strong and relevant voice for ethnic audiences in Canada,” said Colette Watson, Vice President, Broadcast and TV.
