Membership Benefits
The CMPA offers a broad spectrum of services to its members. Our legal, business affairs and regulatory staff represent your interests in numerous negotiations and activities throughout the year, our communications staff work to keep you abreast of pertinent industry information and our membership staff are expanding the benefits available to you.
Terms of Trade Agreements
Terms of Trade are a means of restoring some measure of balance in negotiating power between the parties, by establishing minimum commercial terms for development and broadcast licence agreements. In order to ensure the adoption of Terms of Trade agreements with specific, meaningful and enforceable terms, it is critical that each broadcaster negotiate its own Terms of Trade agreement with the CMPA.
