The Canadian Association of Broadcasters says it is planning to shut down after reaching an impasse with some of its members.
Chairman Elmer Hildebrand says the organization has decided to close this June.
Hildebrand has been trying since December to help the CAB find common ground between broadcasters and cable operators, who have been forcing increasingly different views on the industry.
After reviewing its strategy, the organization concluded that TV operators like CTV and Canwest wouldn't be able to find a common ground with cable companies like Rogers Communications Inc., which have broadcasting assets.
Hildebrand says he hopes to form a new organization in the future that solely represents radio broadcasters.
