OTTAWA — The future of legal satellite radio remains in limbo, with the federal cabinet putting off a decision on the fate of three new licences.
The CRTC approved the satellite licences in June, but that decision can be overridden by cabinet.
The ministers have until next Wednesday to OK the CRTC move, overturn it, or send the matter back to the regulator for further consideration.
Opponents of the decision say it doesn't offer enough Canadian content.
Supporters say it will mean vast new exposure for Canadian artists on broadcasts across North America.
Heritage Minister Liza Frulla says a decision will come by next week's deadline.

I applaud the budget, even though Health Care and education may stay unscathed. Sadly this cannot last and I worry to later this year where cuts will become enviable. If anything, this provides the Wildrose Alliance plenty of ammo when an election is called.
