Reply to comment by ApprehensiveIce6006 in Australia to Impose Local Content Quotas on Streaming Platforms by Sisiwakanamaru

There is a law that a certain percentage has to be CanCon (Canadian content). There are top 40 stations but they have to abide by these rules.

Yes but I have a classic rock station I listen too and Ive listened to plenty of radio and its like a normal radio station, you dont feel like your getting blast withshitty Canadian music constantly. That guy was exaggerating.

It's 35% Canadian by law. Perhaps you think that because there is such a large proportion of world-famous Canadian musicians anyways.

Isn’t it 30% Nickelback and 5% Shania because big CanCon hates you.

You have no idea what your talking. I listen to radio all the time and it not like what you describe.

Same in Australia. Luckily Australia has a lot of talented musicians.
