MONTREAL – Cogeco Cable is adding Sun News to its lineup in Ontario starting Tuesday.
For the past six months, Cogeco Ontario customers have been able to watch the channel via the old over-the-air Sun TV signal that is scheduled to cease operation at midnight on October 31. The channel, a joint venture between Quebecor’s TVA Group and Sun Media Corporation, will be available on channel 195 (SD) and 705 (HD), plus be added to Cogeco’s ‘Digital Select’ theme package.
“We always strive to provide the most interesting and relevant offering on the market”, said Ron Perrotta, Cogeco’s VP of marketing and strategic planning, in Monday’s announcement. “This is why we wanted to continue to offer Sun News to our Ontario customers.”
“This is great news and will help Sun News reach even more Canadians in a consistent place on the Cogeco dial,” said Luc Lavoie, head of development for Sun News. “Sun News is an alternative news voice and is finding an ever-growing market from coast to coast”.
