In June 2009, TELUS began to resell [[BCE Inc.|BCE]]'s satellite [[Bell TV]] service in parts of Alberta and British Columbia as '''TELUS Satellite TV'''. The agreement was designed to allow TELUS the ability to offer a [[quadruple play]] of services in markets where it had not yet deployed Optik TV, while also allowing Bell to increase its television market share in Western Canada. The TELUS-branded service co-exists with the Bell-branded version of Bell TV, which is still offered in the markets that TELUS Satellite TV is offered.<ref name=gandm-telussattelite>{{cite news|title=The satellite surprise: TELUS ties up with BCE|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/the-satellite-surprise-telus-ties-up-with-bce/article1199657/|accessdate=17 October 2015|work=The Globe and Mail}}</ref>▼

'''TELUS STORYHIVE''' is the community access channel for TELUS Optik TV under the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|CRTC]] guidelines for [[community television in Canada]]. As described by TELUS it gives underrepresented communities in British Columbia and Alberta an opportunity to share their stories on the [[Canadian broadcasting|Canadian Broadcasting System]]. Through various programs called Editions, Voices, Video Podcast, Summer Crew, On Location and Community Stories they provide production funding, training, mentorship and distribution on TELUS Optik TV towards short films, podcasts, web series, and live streams often by beginning filmmakers and content creators.<ref>{{Cite web |title=About STORYHIVE {{!}} TELUS |url=https://www.storyhive.com/about |access-date=2024-03-25 |website=www.storyhive.com |language=en}}</ref> They often partner with other Canadian media organizations like [[Creative BC Film Commission|Creative BC]] and the [[National Screen Institute]].

'''TELUS originals''' according to TELUS supports the production of social purpose documentaries features and series by mid-career independent filmmakers in B.C. and Alberta. They contribute funds to local production in accordance with the same CRTC conditions of license, created seemingly as an off-shoot of STORYHIVE. This means that TELUS originals films are funded from the same community access pool, an allotment that allows them to commission local producers to produce content that TELUS' supports. This is a production fund, that does not acquire finished films. All their programming is distributed through TELUS Optik TV.<ref>{{Cite web |title=TELUS Local Content - TELUS originals |url=https://www.telus.com/en/localcontent/telusoriginals/producer-guidelines |access-date=2024-03-25 |website=TELUS |language=en}}</ref>
