HAMILTON, ON, Dec. 15, 2014 /CNW/ - Since its launch on May 2, 2005, Cartt.ca has become the industry's news leader – the place where thousands working in cable, radio, television and telecom click to so they can stay informed.
Cartt.ca publishes breaking news, in-depth feature stories, analysis and opinion geared specifically towards the men and women working in these industries in Canada. Breaking news is posted as it happens and twice-weekly e-mail newsletters compile everything and deliver them directly to subscribers.
Cartt.ca broke the "shomi" story months before anyone else. It was the first to report on what would emerge as CraveTV. It broke the news about ZoomerMedia's interest in buying Sun News. It first broke the news about the call for a "Netflix Tax" during the CRTC's Talk TV process. Speaking of Talk TV, we published over 40 stories before, during and since that hearing, breaking all of the issues down like no other media outlet.
This fall, Cartt.ca covered the CRTC wholesale wireless and wireline access hearings gavel to gavel. It broke the news that Rogers won't be able to buy Shaw's AWS spectrum and that Videotron is talking with Wind's financiers about a merger.
It had reporters at every major news story, event or industry gathering in 2014. From the Consumer Electronics Show to Mobile World Congress; NAB to NCTA and SCTE Cable-Tec; from CTAM and the Banff Media Fest to the Canadian Telecom Summit and CMPA Prime Time; Commtech and CCSA Connect to IIC Canada, parliamentary committee meetings, and many CRTC proceedings. Cartt.ca has had someone there, on the ground, covering the stories important to our industry.
Cartt.ca is the comprehensive, trusted news source industry professionals turn to first.
Its original content, such as feature interviews, our Commentary and Analysis pieces, all the news we break first and features we write that no one else does, have become must-reads. Cartt.ca In-Depth and Cartt.ca Investigates are thorough, thoughtful examinations of the challenges facing the industry and the executives who must make the tough decisions. They are included in the Cartt.ca subscription at no extra charge.
Publisher and editor-in-chief Greg O'Brien has been a journalist for over 20 years, the last 17 of which have been spent exclusively covering the electronic media and telecom sectors and its contributing writers and editors add dozens of years of experience to its editorial coverage.
