Corus Entertainment has unveiled a new STACKTV app that offers Canadian viewers expanded ways to stream Corus content.
The new app is set to replace the current Global TV app, which will be phased out. It promises more content and improved functionality, allowing viewers with a free account to stream Global TV series at no charge seven days after their broadcast premieres. Those with a linked account via Prime Video for $14.99/month can access live and on-demand shows from across Global, Flavour Network, Home Network, W Network, The HISTORY Channel, Adult Swim, Slice, Showcase, National Geographic, Lifetime, DTOUR, Cartoon Network, Treehouse, YTV, and Disney Channel.
“The launch of the new STACKTV app makes it easier than ever for viewers to access their favourite shows and live programming,” said Jennifer Abrams, Senior Vice President, Content and Marketing, in the Corus announcement. “By bringing more ways to watch in one app, we’re giving Canadians greater choice and flexibility to discover and enjoy the series and networks they love however they choose to watch.”
Currently available on Roku, iOS (iPhone and iPad), and the web, the STACKTV app’s rolling launch will continue this fall with Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Android phones and tablets, Apple TV, LG Smart TVs and Samsung Tizen Smart TVs.
Following the phase out of the Global TV app, viewers watching on globaltv.com will be redirected to STACKTV.ca as the new web destination.
Corus said details of STACKTV access for Rogers, Bell, and Eastlink customers will be made available in the coming weeks.
