| Descripción: | Abstract: This paper focuses on the various interrelationships between the Canadian sound recording industry, broadcasting community, cultural-policy practitioners, and the CRTC, which influenced the application process for MuchMusic (Canada's national music video service) between 1979 and the station's debut in 1984. These dates are significant as they witness the intersection of a sound recording industry seeking reinvigoration and additional government support; a broadcast regulator seeking television applicants of solid financial grounding; and a cultural-policy strategy oriented toward improving the marketing and distribution of Canadian cultural products. Each of these elements converge on one point of general assent: that Canada "needed" a national music video broadcaster. Résumé : Cet article porte sur les rapports divers entre l'industrie canadienne de l'enregistrement sonore, la communauté de radiodiffuseurs, les praticiens de politiques culturelles et le CRTC concernant la demande d'application de MuchMusic (service canadien de vidéos musique) entre 1979 et la mise en ondes de la station en 1984. Ces dates sont importantes car elles marquent l'intersection d'une industrie de l'enregistrement sonore cherchant à se renouveler et à se faire appuyer davantage par le gouvernement, d'un organisme de réglementation de la radiodiffusion cherchant des candidats aux finances solides, et d'une stratégie en politique culturelle cherchant à améliorer la promotion et la distribution de produits culturels canadiens. Chacun de ces éléments allait mener à un seul point de convergence : le « besoin » d'un radiodiffuseur national de vidéos musique. |
