RiverTV is a Canadian OTT internet television service owned by VMedia that launched on June 4, 2020.[1] RiverTV is a virtual multichannel video programming distributor (vMVPD),[a] primarily offering Canadian specialty channels and video on demand content.[3]
The service initially launched in a closed beta on May 4, 2020 before releasing publicly in June with a free 7-day trial offer for new subscribers.[4][5]
RiverTV is the first standalone Live TV service to launch in Canada; StackTV, a streaming package offered by Corus Entertainment that functions similarly, launched the previous year in 2019.
In addition to live linear feeds and on demand services from various domestic television broadcasters, RiverTV also distributes several U.S-based networks not available on traditional TV providers.[6] [7]
As of July 2020, RiverTV's content can be accessed through the service's apps for Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Chromecast, and iOS devices within Canada.[9]
