CHATHAM, ON – While advocating for greater competition for Canadian television viewers Tuesday during its appearance at the CRTC’s Let’s Talk TV proceeding, TekSavvy Soltuions announced its new partnership with independent cable company Hastings Cable Vision.
Located in eastern Ontario, Hastings Cable Vision has provided cable television in the Madoc area since 1965. In addition to its popular Channel 4 community television channel, the company also offers Internet and phone services.
TekSavvy said that the partnership will create new opportunities for both service providers, noting that Hastings will help TekSavvy learn more about the Canadian television industry, and TekSavvy will help Hastings to expand its business.
"This partnership will give TekSavvy the experience and expertise we need to build on our commitment to our customers," said TekSavvy CEO Marc Gaudrault, in the announcement. “We understand that broadcasting is a complex business. We also understand that consumers want competitive Canadian television alternatives. This partnership, and today's proceedings before the CRTC, bring us closer to offering innovative, affordable television to our TekSavvy customers."
