BCE Inc.'s CTV has made its CTV Go TV Everywhere service available to Rogers Communications Inc., Access Communications, Cable Cable, Nexicom and Northwestel subscribers, giving CTV Go a 90-per-cent penetration rate in English Canada.

The four new partners join Bell Fibe, Bell TV, Bell Aliant FibreOP TV, Northerntel FibreOP, Shaw Cable, Shaw Direct, Telus Optik TV and Eastlink as CTV Go partners.

CTV Go provides viewers the freedom to enjoy live streams of CTV and CTV Two's complete schedules on their smart phones, tablets and computers, including the flexibility to start, stop and continue their favourite CTV programs seamlessly, in and out of the home, at no additional cost. With access to more than 60 program titles, CTV Go features 14 of the top 20 most-watched programs in Canada, including The Big Bang Theory, Gotham, Person of Interest and more, in addition to continuing unprecedented access to live special-event programming.

"With the Academy Awards just days away, this is an exciting time of year for our new CTV Go partners and their customers," said Mike Cosentino, senior vice-president, programming, CTV Networks. "CTV Go delivers an amazing live-streaming and on-demand viewing experience wherever television customers want it."
