CBC/Radio-Canada’s all-news channels, CBC News Network and ICI RDI, are now available as add-on subscriptions on Prime Video in Canada, priced at C$4.99 a month each.
“This is a great opportunity to broaden the reach of CBC News with even more Canadians on Prime Video,” commented Doug Smith, EVP of the CBC.
“There is a strong demand among francophones across the country for trusted and reliable news sources, such as ICI RDI,” added Dany Meloul, EVP for Radio-Canada. “This agreement with Prime Video allows us to provide greater access to the country’s only national French-language 24/7 news channel.”
Mark Shopiro, director of Prime Video, Canada, said, “The addition of CBC News Network and ICI RDI represents a significant expansion of Prime Video’s content offering in Canada for English- and French-speaking customers. These subscriptions complement our extensive range of premium services, giving Canadians access to news and entertainment, all in one place.”
