Free Previews Extended

Rogers Communications and several other cable providers have decided to extend their free previews for their customers due to the COVID-19 issue.

Rogers will be extending their free previews until the end of June and have added Tubi TV to their apps, which enables customers with compatible set-top boxes to access free, ad-supported movies and television programs.

I will, of course, add Tubi TV to my Links To Pass The Time blog entry as soon as possible.
