TORONTO — Corus Entertainment announced today its 13-channel streaming service StackTV — which as of recently includes the Lifetime network — is now available on Rogers Ignite TV and Ignite SmartStream.
As of today, Rogers customers can add StackTV to their monthly Ignite TV and Ignite SmartStream packages starting with the first month free when they subscribe.
