Regional Production Funding

Beginning in 2026-2027, the Linear Content Programs – Core Production Guidelines have been eliminated. For most Linear Content Production Programs, the Broadcaster Envelope Program (Production) – English and French and/or the Distributor Envelope Program will serve as the main sets of Guidelines for project funding.

The CMF’s mandate includes support for funding to production across Canada.
