Not only is Apple expanding their live television offerings to Canadian Apple TV users in the Fall but Corus Entertainment has just announced<\/a> that they will provide live broadcasts to Amazon Prime Video subscribers in Canada: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Available soon to Prime members in Canada, STACKTV includes some of the best entertainment, drama, lifestyle and kids television channels, delivering audiences the latest episodes of hit series live and on-demand.<\/p>

STACKTV will include: Global, Food Network Canada, HGTV Canada, W Network, HISTORY\u00ae, Adult Swim, Slice, Showcase, National Geographic, Teletoon, Treehouse and YTV.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately sports and news fans will need to wait for more channels to be added to this service. But Greg Hart, vice president of Amazon Prime Video, said he’s hopeful that voids in the offering will be filled over time, in an interview with The Canadian Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This additional service will be available for a monthly fee of $12.99 (plus taxes) via the Prime Video app<\/a> on smart TVs, on Roku devices<\/a>, iOS and Android mobile devices, Amazon Fire TV<\/a> and the Amazon Fire TV Stick<\/a>. And Nickelodeon <\/strong>subscription video on-demand service will cost an extra $5.99 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prime Video is currently $7.99 plus tax or free to Amazon Prime members. And that streaming service currently offers film and television programs on demand, their catalogue expanding slowly to offer content that is currently only accessible by American users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
