CALGARY – Shaw has launched a new TV channel to help Fort McMurray residents stay on top of the latest community news and developments as they return home following last month’s devastating wildfires.
Available now on channel 303 for all Shaw Cable and Shaw Direct customers, the channel offers a 30-minute loop of content that is updated daily and offers news from emergency service personnel and government officials plus information like reconnecting utilities, insurance advice and mental health support.
This coverage will also highlight the stories and acts that have brought the community together. Viewers may also watch this coverage on YouTube.
"The community of Fort McMurray has shown what real teamwork is all about," said Shaw’s president, consumer Chris Kucharski, in the news release. "It's been incredible to witness the strength of this community and the outpouring of support from first responders, volunteers, businesses, and citizens across the country and around the world. Shaw Community TV is all about bringing communities together, and channel 303 will help share important local news and information as well as the compelling stories of so many selfless people."
