RiverTV Offers over 30 Top TV Channels with Thousands of Hours of Original Programming – Live TV at an Affordable Price<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n TORONTO, ON \u2013 June 4, 2020<\/strong> \u2013 Get ready for a unique new experience in live TV and on-demand streaming in Canada! VMedia, Canada\u2019s leading independent telecommunications and broadcasting company, today announced the launch of RiverTV<\/strong> (www.Rivertv.ca<\/a>), Canada\u2019s first live TV and on-demand streaming channel platform, featuring a bundle of over 30 channels with thousands of hours of original programming, for only $16.99* a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The RiverTV line-up offers a great mix of top-rated shows and movies on local Global<\/em> TV stations, CHCH-TV, W Network, Showcase, Teletoon, YTV, Treehouse, HISTORY\u00ae, Adult Swim, Family, Slice, Smithsonian Channel Canada, Crime & Investigation<\/em> and many more. Subscribers will also enjoy unique new content with seven US live and VOD streaming channels that are bundled only on RiverTV – Cheddar, Drink TV, Law & Crime, Newsmax, Newsy, Real Vision and REVOLT<\/em>, with more channels to be available in the upcoming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Subscribers will also be able to add \u2018a la carte\u2019 channels to the RiverTV package, including Hollywood Suite, i24NEWS<\/em> and Nick+<\/em> (coming soon), and many others to be added in the next several months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Targeted at cord-cutting Canadians and those looking for a more affordable live TV solution, especially millennials and families with young children, RiverTV is available coast to coast. There are no cable-boxes or wires, and no hidden costs or fees – just instant access to a high quality collection of live and on-demand channels featuring news, lifestyle and entertainment, reality and children\u2019s programming. With a free trial period and no commitments, everyone who enjoys content over the Internet should experience RiverTV!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAccess to live TV has never been easier,\u201d said Alexei Tchernobrivets, CEO of VMedia. \u201cEveryone gets a free trial, with no obligation, by signing up at www.rivertv.ca<\/a>. Then just download the RiverTV app to any Roku\u00ae, Amazon Fire TV, Fire TV Edition smart TV, Apple or Android TV device, and start watching!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n RiverTV is Canada\u2019s first virtual broadcasting distribution undertaking, or vBDU. Like conventional BDUs including VMedia TV and those operated by the major telcos and cablecos, RiverTV aggregates top specialty channels from leading Canadian programming groups including Corus, Blue Ant Media, Channel Zero and Wildbrain (formerly DHX), as well as a variety of US channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, RiverTV is streamed and delivered over the Internet, available to any Canadian home with Internet service as easily as Netflix. This is an important distinction because conventional BDUs also have packages which can be streamed, like Alt TV, Pik TV and Ignite, but those services can only be subscribed for together with their own often costly Internet packages. RiverTV is available over any Internet service in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RiverTV can be viewed anywhere on most platforms of your choice including Roku players, Roku TV\u2122 models, Amazon Fire TV, Fire TV Edition smart TV, Apple TV, iOS(mobile and tablet) and Android TV devices (including NVIDIA SHIELD and certain TVs manufactured by Sony, Sharp, Philips and more). Apps for Android mobile and a web-based service are coming soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Popular viewing features include Live TV Guide<\/em> \u2013 for easy channel surfing; My TV<\/em> \u2013 for quick access to favourite shows and on-demand content; Look Back TV<\/em> \u2013 to watch previously aired content up to seven days back; Pause & Resume<\/em> \u2013 which allows users to pick up where they left off, and Restart<\/em> which allows users to go back to the beginning of a show already in progress. Shows can also be streamed on three devices simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, RiverTV is integrated with major platform search features such as Siri, greatly enhancing programming discoverability through electronic programming guides and On Demand catalogue integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the US, streamed live TV platforms have become a popular alternative to conventional TV, with Sling, YouTube TV and Hulu with Live TV now serving a market of nearly 10 million homes. These solutions are attractive to consumers who appreciate the many benefits of live TV and all the great original programming it offers, but want live TV to be more affordable, and easily accessible on the platform of their choice. VMedia\u2019s RiverTV now offers this unique alternative to Canadians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRiverTV is a terrific new choice particularly for adults aged 20-44 and families with young children, who consume video online or who watch traditional live TV,\u201d said George Burger, co-founder of VMedia. \u201cUnderserved Canadian consumers finally have a cable-free, lower cost, live TV option, with thousands of hours of video-on-demand. VMedia is proud to be the first to develop a made-in-Canada solution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n RiverTV subscribers will be able to enjoy such fan favourites as Survivor<\/em>, 9-1-1<\/em> and Big Brother Canada<\/em> (GlobalTV), Outlander<\/em> and Hallmark Channel Movies<\/em> (W Network), Batwomanl, Supergirl<\/em> and The Magicians<\/em> (Showcase), The Curse of Oak Island<\/em> and Vikings<\/em> (HISTORY\u00ae), Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/em> and Vanderpump Rules<\/em> (Slice), and Rick & Morty<\/em> and Harley Quinn<\/em> (Adult Swim).<\/p>\n\n\n\n First time users who sign up for RiverTV will receive a free trial to experience all the great shows and features RiverTV offers. There are no commitments; subscribers can cancel at anytime without penalty. Canadians can subscribe directly at www.rivertv.ca<\/a>, on Roku devices or through the Apple, Amazon and Google Play app stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stay current on the latest RiverTV news through Social Media:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Twitter: @RiverTVNow<\/a> #RiverTV *price excludes applicable taxes<\/p>\n\n\n\n # # #<\/p>\n\n\n\n ABOUT RIVERTV<\/strong> ABOUT VMEDIA<\/strong> Canada’s First Live and On-Demand Streaming TV Bundle!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1955,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":""},"categories":[142],"tags":[438,432,441,437,433,79],"yst_prominent_words":[180,167,176,166,173,183,170,181,168,179,164,174,165,178,175,172,171,182,169,177],"modified_by":"Alexandra Gerashchenko","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1526"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1526"}],"version-history":[{"count":24,"href":"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1526\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2975,"href":"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1526\/revisions\/2975"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1526"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rivertv.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=1526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
