Sportsnet NOW, the first mainstream sports TV channel in North America to be available direct to consumers, will be available to all Canadians starting tomorrow.
Sportsnet NOW is a live streaming service of six Sportsnet linear channels, and remains included with Sportsnet television subscriptions through participating providers. But now all Canucks will have access to the first mainstream sports TV channel in North America to be offered direct to consumers.
“Rogers is Canada’s home for the best in sports, and Sportsnet NOW is a complementary service to our other offerings that gives Canadians even more choice when it comes to how they consume their sports content,” said Rick Brace, President of Rogers Media, in a press release. “We are committed to driving innovation in sport – and with this service, we’re bringing sports to our audiences in a new and exciting way.”
“This service is ideal for sports fans who do not have a TV subscription, but still want to watch live sports,” said Scott Moore, President of Sportsnet & NHL Properties at Rogers. “With Sportsnet NOW, Canadians can choose to watch all the live action when they want it, anytime, anywhere. Sportsnet NOW is the fans’ all-access pass to Sportsnet content.”
Sportsnet NOW will be available on tablet, mobile and online, for a monthly subscription of $24.99 with no contract and a seven-day trial period. Sportsnet NOW remains included for existing Sportsnet cable, IPTV, and satellite subscribers where available.
