MONTREAL – Telus announced Wednesday it will begin offering its Optik TV customers the option to subscribe to Videotron’s SVOD service Club illico for $10 a month — $5 less than a standalone subscription — beginning Dec. 7.
Optik TV customers who subscribe will have access to more than 6,500 French-language titles from Club illico that they can watch anywhere and anytime on the device of their choice, including via the Telus TV+ mobile app, a press release says.
“From original Quebec productions like Détective Surprenant, Lac-Noir and Léo to French versions of popular international series like The Handmaid’s Tale and the latest films fresh from theatres, there’s high-quality French content for everyone to enjoy,” the release reads.
“More and more Quebecers want to watch their content on demand, as demonstrated by subscription trends,” Nathalie Dionne, Telus’s regional vice-president of marketing for Quebec, said in the release. “The addition of Club illico to our extensive range of content allows them to do this, wherever and whenever they want.”
“We are very pleased that this agreement allows Club illico content to reach even more customers,” said Yann Paquet, vice-president of Quebecor Content. “For 10 years now, our commitment to offering the best French movies and series from Quebec and everywhere else has made Club illico the destination of choice for Quebecers.”
Optik TV customers who sign up for the Club illico service between Dec. 7 and 31 will enjoy their first month for free, the release says.
