2 unusual facts about Multichannel television in Canada


Multichannel television in Canada

For example, entertainment-based networks are typically forbidden from airing sports programming (unlike U.S. equivalents such as TNT, which infrequently airs NBA basketball and NASCAR auto racing; both of which are aired in Canada on sports networks), while sports networks are allowed to air a small number of films (although, typically this is restricted to films which are themed around sports).

The introduction of IPTV services by telephone providers such as Bell (Fibe TV), MTS (MTS TV), SaskTel (MaxTV), and Telus (Optik TV) brought additional competition to the multichannel television industry in Canada as an alternative to incumbent cable providers.
