Shaw PPV

Shaw PPV

and others.

As the service is carried by a number of cable operators unaffiliated with Shaw, the service uses generic "PPV" branding and avoids references to its ownership.

History

Shaw PPV was originally owned by Western International Communications and launched as a regional pay-per-view service available in Western Canada. It was first known as "Home Theatre", and later rebranded as Viewers Choice in order to share the channels used by the eastern Canadian service by the same name. The service was later sold to Corus Entertainment and subsequently to Shaw, following which the service began to phase out the "Viewers Choice" name.

In March 2006, the CRTC amended Shaw PPV's licence, allowing it to be distributed nationally. However it did not officially go national until December 27, 2007 when Star Choice dropped Viewers Choice in favour of Shaw PPV.
