Back in September, when I wrote my Canadian Fall Preview page, I mentioned how CTV was putting together some big plans for future expansion in their TV channels and digital platforms for late 2018 and early 2019. As of tomorrow, those plans will become reality as the network announced that it will feature 2 new digital VOD channels (with more to come) called CTV Movies and CTV Throwback that will be offered free on CTV.ca (https://www.ctv.ca/Home) and the CTV mobile app. Both channels will offer a large selection of classic and current favorites of each genre with new titles to be announced each week and there should literally be something for everyone. By this time next year, I expect the CTV channel to be better than Hulu. Like Hulu, which I would also expect to be here by next year, you have to put up with the odd commercial or three, but the content looks great and should be worth the bother.

Well this sucks. You can only view it in Canada. I wonder if there’s a way around it so you can view in the US.
