VANCOUVER – Vancouver-based Broadbandtv (BBTV) has inked a deal to provide on-demand television and movie content to Telus Corp for its IPTV service, Telus TV, and its other distribution services, including cell phones.
Shows to be provided include The Hollywood Reporter, which covers the latest in entertainment news.
“Broadbandtv’s proven ability to deliver compelling content on demand is a powerful partner to Telus TV’s continuing growth,” said Telus VP of content Fred Di Blasio. “Their service will bring our customers popular programming on-demand, so they can choose when to watch it rather than having to tune into their program at a scheduled time. That creates powerful choice in the TV programming and movies consumers bring into their homes.”
Telus TV is available in select neighbourhoods of Calgary, Edmonton and B.C.’s Lower Mainland.
“This agreement speaks to BBTV’s growing prominence in the industry as a provider of television and movie content to tier one Telco TV networks,” said BBTV CEO Shahrzad Rafati.
