Bell ExpressVu today announced the addition of 16 specialty channels to its 300-plus channel video and audio line-up. The new channels, including Silver Screen Classics, MTV2, and Paris Première, strengthen Bell ExpressVu's leadership position in cultural programming by offering a wider selection of music, news and movies to its customers.
"Bringing the widest and richest programming is critical in our efforts to remain Canada's leader in digital home entertainment", said Timothy McGee, President, Bell ExpressVu. "This means more value and choice for our 1.3 million subscribers. After recently introducing international and High Definition content, we are now delivering more programming with specialized content."
The 16 channels launched today are part of a yearlong programming expansion that will see 76 new channels added to the Bell ExpressVu line-up by the end of 2003. To date, 59 channels have been introduced, including 15 HDTV channels.
Bell ExpressVu's new programming line-up includes:
