Why did the Canadian free French channel have soft core porn at nights while the English channels didn't? (NSFW)

Asked by RedDeerGuy1 (24945points) October 29th, 2019

Is it something cultural? Was on antenna channels free in Edmonton, Alberta Canada in the 90’s. Other channels only had Southpark at the worst.

The French are a set of randy buggers & our channels most likely had cricket highlights on.

British are traditionally uptight prigs.

French have a joie-de-vivre.

Why would you expect two countries to be identical in any way?

RedDeerGuy1's avatar

@Sagacious Was Canada. Same country.

@RedDeerGuy1 Didn’t the broadcasts originate in different countries?

RedDeerGuy1's avatar

@Sagacious No. Same city. Both free t.v. over the antenna. In Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

@RedDeerGuy1 I understand it comes in over-air broadcast to you but original point of the broadcast might be anywhere.

@Sagacious Was cbc (Canadian Broadcasting corporation) Edmonton French channel. The other channels where cbc Edmonton, Ctv, ITV and access the information station, At the time.

I was so busy watching porn when I was on the English Channel, that my yacht hit a swimmer and it drowned! I guess I’m the one to blame for the subsequent censorship. ;-(

@elbanditoroso I’ve read a lot and my impression was that yes, the British are more regimented about appearances, but back in the day mistresses, whoring, house party partner swaps, drug and alcohol use-all were common practice accepted in society but not necessarily part of polite society conversation or acknowledgement.

@ucme Which is true? Uptight or freaky?

ucme's avatar

@KNOWITALL Haha, neither is true but people will have misconceptions.
The question refers to the 90’s & you can assume that was the 20th century not the dark ages :D

KNOWITALL's avatar

@ucme I’m going with freaky anyway lol.
