So what does the ‘Q’ stand for? ‘Qaran’? ‘Quit yer bitchin’, infidels’?

Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2011-763

FDR Media Group Inc. (FDR), on behalf of a corporation to be incorporated (the applicant), filed an application for a broadcasting licence to operate Channel Q TV (English), a national, English-language specialty Category B service devoted to programming that would strive to educate both Muslims and non-Muslims about Islamic teachings that promote brotherhood, charity, tolerance, humility and humanity. The programming would engage the audience in a meaningful discourse concerning all aspects of Islam and would promote national, ethnic and social harmony. The programming mix would reflect the views and interests of the Islamic masses in Canada and help them face crucial questions about their own faith. The Commission did not receive any interventions in connection with this application.

2.      The applicant will be owned by FDR, a corporation owned by FDR Consultants Group Inc. (FDR Consultants). FDR Consultants is equally owned and controlled by three shareholders David Martin, Shubhankar Maitra and Fariba Rawhani.
