i'm questioning this paragraph "Its radio signals can be picked up quite strongly in portions of southern Ontario. This gives some Canadian listeners the ability to hear programs such as Limbaugh and Savage which Canadian stations cannot legally carry due to that country's laws and regulations against broadcast of what the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council and the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (Canada's official broadcast regulator) regard as racist, sexist or prejudicial "hate speech".

i looked at the web site of the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council and searched for Rush Limbaugh and found 5 links which i read and searched. the name Rush Limbaugh appeard once in each article, but it was not about him, and often was comparing the size of the audience vs the main content of the article. so i suggest that including CBSC as restricting the broadcast to not be factual, while restriction on Howard Stern would be factual, as this program was cited in the content of the Rush Limbaugh search links.

then i went to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission's web site and searched for Rush Limbaugh in the general search as well as the comprehensive search for body text and there were no results returned.

in addition the wikipedia article on Rush Limbaugh which states that the program is not carried by any Canadian broadcast stations does not cite any governmental or regulatory restrictions on such coverage, only noting that the program is exclusively broadcast by the Premiere Radio Network division of Clear Channel Communications so they are the ones who decide which stations can carry the broadcast.

therefore, i believe that the statement in the paragraph i quoted above is inaccurate and should be edited to delete the impication that Canadian regulators have found that the Rush Limbaugh show is racist, sexist or predujicial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.182.11.227 (talk) 21:44, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
