Quebecor Media has won the regulatory go-ahead to start broadcasting what some have already labelled "Fox News North".
The CRTC today granted Quebecor subsidiaries TVA Group Inc. and Sun Media Corporation a licence for Sun TV News, a national English-language news channel.
Sun TV News has been stuck with the Fox News North nickname because of its expected conservative bent.
The CRTC licence, for a Category 2 digital specialty channel, is good for five years.
