"You know people at the CRTC, This
is an important decision on Sun Media. They (CRTC) have to play with the team

.Sen. Mike Duffy attempted to influence the Canadian Radio-Television
and Telecommunications Commission’s upcoming decision involving the
right-leaning Sun News Network, a source has told CTV News.
A well-placed source told CTV’s Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife that
Duffy approached a Conservative insider with connections to the CRTC
three weeks ago to discuss Sun Media, which is asking the federal
regulator to grant its news channel “mandatory carriage,” or guaranteed
placement on basic cable and satellite packages.
The move would boost Sun News Network’s profile and revenues.

It would not only boost Sun News' revenues but it might give Duffy a handy place for a soft landing if he's forced out of the senate.
