Disney and Bell Media Announce New Canadian Streaming Package

After years of keeping Disney+ exclusive to Disney customers, the company has expanded its streaming strategy. Over the last couple of years, we have seen Disney expand their offerings, striking deals with HBO, Charter, and Verizon to meet consumers where they are.

What the New Package Includes

The latest deal gives Bell Media subscribers access to content from HBO, Crave, Disney, and TSN.

“We’re excited to expand our longstanding relationship with Bell Media through these new offerings, making Disney+ even more accessible across Canada,” Shawn Praskey, Disney’s vice president of content sales and distribution in Canada, said in a statement.
