Description

Spring Halifax CBC radio station CBH refused to air a public service announcement from GAE for its "Gayline" telephone information and counselling service. The station told GAE that the CBC had a national policy against accepting public announcements from homophile organizations. The NGRC/CNDH sent a letter of protest to CBC president Al Johnson and inquired whether such a national policy did in fact exist. (See also July 6, 1976.)
