Canadians who may have become tired of being passed over as porn stars will have a new, home-grown outlet to showcase their erotic talents.

The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission approved the pay-television service last Wednesday, allowing northern peaks to become “Canada’s first adult video channel offering significant Canadian adult content.”
The channel must negotiate rates and carriage on Canada’s cable and satellite television distributors, and receiving a license is no guarantee that cable or satellite companies will pick up the channel.
Owners of such licences can face a tough slog of several years before getting carriage.
