Canadian broadcasters are required to include a minimum amount of "Canadian content" in their programming. The idea is to keep U.S. culture from taking over (good luck with that). Remember Bob&Doug, the Mckenzie Brothers, from Second City? That skit started as a CanCon joke, and become a whole meme (before the term), with an album and movie. CanCon has become sort of a joke in general. So it made sense to me-as good a reason as any for z13s not to be available up north! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
