	Astral Media Presents Position to the CRTC -- CHANNEL CANADA
		Astral Media, operator of The Movie Network and Super Ecran, expressed concerns relating to the long-term negative impact that licensing additional pay-TV services will have on consumers, the Canadian production community and the Canadian broadcasting system overall.
