VANCOUVER – Telus unveiled a new structure for its Optik TV programming Tuesday that sees the addition of “premium entertainment” such as Crave, HBO, Netflix, and multicultural and sports packs bundled directly into TV packages.
The three packages in the new structure each include the Optik TV Essentials channel pack as well as either 4 Theme Packs and 1 Premium for $65 per month, 7 Theme Packs and 1 Premium for $80 per month, and 11 Theme Packs and 2 Premium for $110 per month, all on a two year term. The packages are available now for new and renewing customers in British Columbia and Alberta.
Telus also pledged to cover the monthly Netflix subscription fee for customers who sign up for a new combo package and select Netflix as their premium content, plus upgrade their subscription to a Netflix Premium plan, which includes access to 4K HDR content and the ability to watch on up to four screens simultaneously. Current Netflix customers may opt to keep their same account.
“As entertainment options evolve, Telus is committed to ensuring Optik TV customers have access to the content they want, all on one interface and on one bill,” said Blair Miller, Telus’ consumer products & content VP, in the news release. “By simplifying our Optik TV packaging and bundling premium entertainment instead of adding them on, we are offering customers more choice, flexibility and value than ever before.”
