How do we calculate the contribution to Canadian programming of video-on-demand (VOD) television undertaking?
VOD undertakings are currently required to contribute 5% of their gross annual revenues to an existing Canadian program production fund administered independently of its undertaking. However, for BDU-affiliated VOD undertakings, the VOD undertaking’s gross annual revenues are deemed to be 50% of the total retail revenues received by the BDU from customers. For instance, if a BDU collects $10 from a subscriber for a VOD program, then $5 would be considered VOD revenues for the purpose of calculating the related VOD undertaking’s 5% contribution.
