FP/CP says Corus bringing Pluto TV to Canada

2022-06-09 09:34 ET - In the News

The Financial Post reports in its Thursday, June 9, edition that free streaming service Pluto TV is coming to Canada this fall, the latest in a growing number of ad-supported alternatives to Netflix and other subscription platforms. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post reports that Corus Entertainment says it has partnered with the service's owner Paramount Global to roll out more than 100 channels of streaming TV series, movies, sports and other shows. Under the deal, Corus will oversee advertising placement on the service in Canada and supply Corus original programming in a variety of genres. Pluto TV is the latest brand to step into the underdeveloped Canadian market of "live TV" streaming options, which provide a diverse selection of free programming with ad breaks and streams in a continuous feed, rather than offered on-demand. The design of "live TV" services evokes the experience of channel surfing with an on-screen programming guide that outlines the schedule. Details on Pluto TV's Canadian lineup have not been announced, but in the United States the company serves up channels that dive deep into fandoms, including ones dedicated to Star Trek, Hell's Kitchen and C.S.I. marathons.
