CBC/Radio-Canada announced Thursday that its all-news channels, CBC News Network and ICI RDI, are now available on Amazon Prime Video as add-on subscriptions.
The service, which provides around the clock live, breaking news coverage, costs $5-per-month and has a seven-day free trial.
CBC’s Executive Vice-President Doug Smith said in a press release that this move will help “broaden the reach” of the service.
“There is a strong demand among francophones across the country for trusted and reliable news sources, such as ICI RDI,” added Dany Meloul, executive vice-president of Radio-Canada, in the release. “This agreement with Prime Video allows us to provide greater access to the country’s only national French-language 24/7 news channel.”
