Don't forget radio. A lot of USAians don't realize that in Canada (and a lot of other countries) you can't start a radio station, or change your programming, without the government approving the format you choose.

Want to play country music on your radio station? Woah there, podner. There's already a country station in this town, and if you play country music, too, there won't be enough advertising money to go around. So the incumbent stays, and the idea of competition allowing the better station to survive can go pound sand.
