StackTV


StackTV is a Canadian subscription video streaming package offered by Corus Entertainment. It was announced on June 3, 2019 and was originally offered through Amazon's Prime Video Channels; the offering launched shortly thereafter as an add-on for Amazon Prime subscribers.
StackTV functions similarly to a virtual multichannel video programming distributor, providing access to Corus-owned television channels, including both live linear feeds and on-demand programming during Corus' term of license. The service is intended for cord-cutters; providing access to Corus' linear channels through over-the-top media services without the need for a traditional TV service subscription. In contrast to the defunct subscription streaming service Shomi, StackTV initially offered no exclusive programming beyond that seen on Corus's linear networks and their own on-demand content.
StackTV is one of two, Canadian-based, Live TV services; RiverTV would launch a year later in 2020.

    Reception

Corus announced in June 2020 that the service had achieved 200,000 subscribers, with executives saying the service had become a "meaningful part of portfolio". By June 2021, the combined number of subscribers to StackTV and Corus' other Amazon-based service, Nick+, had increased to over 600,000 subscribers, similar to those of other streaming services.
