CTV News/Canadian Press: Fox News shouldn't air in Canada despite Tucker Carlson ouster, LGBTQ2S+ group argues 

TORONTO - An advocacy group that wants the CRTC to ban Fox News says the network's "abusive content" extends beyond its divisive personalities such as recently fired host Tucker Carlson. 

Fox News should be banned from Canadian airwaves because it has "repeatedly and regularly" violated broadcasting standards with content that subjects many groups to hate, Egale Canada is arguing in its formal submission to Canada's broadcasting regulator. 

The LGBTQ2S+ rights group is dismissing Fox's argument that the application to remove its news network from Canadian cable TV packages is "moot" in the wake of prime-time host Tucker Carlson's ousting in late April.

Update: Could Fox News be banned from Canadian airwaves? CRTC weighs call (Global News)  

WNU Editor: This is not an idle threat. The CRTC killed the cable news channel Sun Media (Canada's FOX News equivalent) a few years ago when it denied the company the license to expand to other regions of Canada in order to become profitable. 

On a personal note. On my cable package I have FOX News, but during its peak times (The Five for example) half of the time I cannot see it due to "technical reasons". But I have no problems seeing CNN or MSNBC. I have yet to receive an explanation from my cable provider (Videotron) on why this is case.
