Description
Kevin Crull, president of CTV parent company Bell Media, has been found to have intervened in news coverage of a Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) decision. Crull demanded that the news network not cover Jean Pierre-Blais, head of the CRTC, who had just announced a rule change in which broadcasters has to offer low-cost packages and a "pick-and-pay" model for other channels.

Two weeks after the incident, Crull has stepped down from his post as president and offered an apology.
