[edit] Distribution

Although most licensed analogue specialty services are not mandatory carriage on analogue cable systems and can be carried on digital cable, in all French language markets, ARTV is mandatory carriage on analogue cable that receives the highest number of subscribers. In English language markets, this condition does not apply. In regard to satellite providers, ARTV must be offered in a package that contains the greatest number of French language services.

These conditions were applied by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to ensure the success of the service and that it has the ability to produce programs to fulfill its mandate as an arts and culture service.
