VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For Optik TV customers, the best just keeps getting better. TELUS has announced a new, optimized structure for its Optik TV packages, which now offers more entertainment choices and value than ever before. TELUS Optik TV is the first and only TV provider in Canada to offer premium entertainment bundled directly within TV packages. Each of the three new groundbreaking TV packages includes premium content, so what was once add-on content at an extra cost is now included. Premium content options include favourites like Crave + Movies + HBO, multicultural and sports packs, and now, Netflix.
When customers sign up for a new combo package and select Netflix as their premium content, not only will TELUS upgrade their subscription to a Netflix Premium plan, which includes access to 4K HDR(1) content and the ability to watch on up to four screens simultaneously, but TELUS will also cover their monthly Netflix subscription fee. Current Netflix customers can even keep their same account so they can keep watching Netflix shows they love on their existing profiles.
“As entertainment options evolve, TELUS is committed to ensuring Optik TV customers have access to the content they want, all on one interface and on one bill,” said Blair Miller, Vice President of Consumer Products & Content, TELUS. “By simplifying our Optik TV packaging and bundling premium entertainment instead of adding them on, we are offering customers more choice, flexibility and value than ever before.”
There are three Optik TV packages in the new structure, providing customers with options that fit their budget and desired entertainment experience. Each includes our Essentials channel pack, plus:
- 4 Theme Packs and 1 Premium
- 7 Theme Packs and 1 Premium
- 11 Theme Packs and 2 Premium
The packages are $65, $80 and $110 per month on a two-year term, respectively. The packages are available now for new and renewing customers throughout British Columbia and Alberta.
