CanCon (Canadian Content)

CanCon, short for Canadian Content, refers to regulations and guidelines in Canada that promote the creation and distribution of media produced by Canadians. This includes music, television, film, and literature, ensuring that a certain percentage of content aired on radio and television is created by Canadian artists or reflects Canadian culture. The goal is to support local talent, preserve cultural identity, and provide Canadians with access to their own stories and perspectives. These regulations help nurture the Canadian entertainment industry and encourage a diverse range of voices within the media landscape.
