RiverTV now offering HGTV Canada, Food Network Canada just in time for the holidays


TORONTO – VMedia’s live TV and on-demand streaming channel provider, RiverTV, announced yesterday it is now offering HGTV Canada and Food Network Canada as part of its core package.

RiverTV subscribers can now watch popular shows including Island of Bryan, Top Chef Canada, Great Chocolate Showdown, Making It Home with Kortney and Kenny and Wall of Chefs.

“With HGTV Canada and Food Network Canada, two must-have Canadian channels, RiverTV is an unbeatable lifestyle and family-focused TV service in North America,” said Alexei Tchernobrivets, CEO of VMedia Inc., in a press release.

“Our core package of 43 channels now includes six of the top ten most-watched non-sports networks in Canada. There is no better value in home – and out of home – entertainment for Canadians looking for a more affordable live TV solution, especially millennials and families with young children.”

Other channels available with RiverTV’s core package include local Global and CBC stations, Treehouse, Adult Swim, Bloomberg Quicktakes and Smithsonian Channel Canada.

Beyond the core package, RiverTV offers add-on channels including Hollywood Suite and Super Channel, as well as “a growing lineup of French-language channels from Canada and around the world, and many multicultural selections,” the press release says.

RiverTV is available at www.rivertv.ca, and on all major streaming video devices including Roku, Apple TV and iOS, Amazon FireTV, certified Android TV devices and Android mobile for $16.99/month, which is the same price as when it was initially launched in 2020.

“The addition of these great new channels at no additional cost are RiverTV’s holiday season gift to its current subscribers, and all Canadians!” the press release says.

You can try RiverTV out for one week for free with no obligation.

“This is by far one of Canada’s top streaming entertainment services available anywhere,” said George Burger, COO of RiverTV.

“Platforms like Netflix and Disney+ have no live programming, and add very little locally relevant original programming each month. On RiverTV, there is a constant flow of original shows and content, hundreds of fresh programming hours a day, for only $16.99. There is always something on.”
