Hell might have frozen over. Bell put out a press release to announce this:
Bell Media announced today that its premium TV streaming service CraveTV will become available direct to consumers on January 1, 2016. Today’s announcement means that the breadth and depth of premium, quality television programming available exclusively on CraveTV will soon also be offered to all Canadians with access to the Internet. More details will follow in the months ahead.
Now, I will give Bell credit for coming out with a far more definitive statement than Rogers and Shaw who put out something that was far less convincing as they didn’t attach a date to when they would make their Shomi service available to all Canadians. But having said that, if Bell really wanted to put a nail in Shomi’s coffin, they’d come out with their service way faster than several months from now. The only question is if the CRTC will continue down the path of smacking Bell, Rogers, and Shaw for not opening their services up to all Canadians now that it appears they’ve all done it.
