TORONTO — Bell Media’s CraveTV subscription video on-demand streaming service will soon be available to more TV subscribers across Canada, as Bell announced it has signed up four more distributors for the service.

The four new CraveTV distributors are: Access Communications, a Saskatchewan-owned non-profit co-operative; Cable Cable, in the city of Kawartha Lakes, Ont.; Nexicom, in Peterborough, Ont.; and Northwestel, which serves customers in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon, northern B.C., and High Level, Alta.

CraveTV is available now to Access Communications TV subscribers, with Cable Cable, Nexicom and Northwestel expected to launch the service in the coming weeks. CraveTV is already available to Eastlink, Telus Optik TV, Bell Fibe TV, Bell Satellite TV and Bell Aliant FibreOP TV subscribers.

“We are pleased to bring these four great companies on board, which furthers our strategy of making CraveTV available to as many people as possible on as many platforms as possible,” Bell Media president Kevin Crull said in a news release. “We continue to talk to all TV providers, and look forward to announcing additional partners in the coming months.”
