Telus Offers Free Preview of Premium TV, New Theme Packs

Telus says is giving Optik TV customers a free preview of premium lifestyle and entertainment channels for a limited time.
So what’s available right now? Telus told iPhone in Canada customers can watch Bravo, Magnolia, Food Network, HGTV, Discovery, and Investigation Discovery at no extra cost right now, until April 14, 2025.
Starting April 11, Telus will allow customers to add individual channels for $5 each or choose from two new theme packs for $10/month:
- Food & Home – Includes Food Network, Magnolia Network, and HGTV.
- Discovery & Reality – Includes Bravo, Discovery, and Investigation Discovery.
As of January 2025, Rogers holds rights to the Food Network and HGTV in Canada, as previously it was Corus.
Now the whole point of offering a free preview is to give customers a taste of shows, hoping they will subscribe to channels later on. It’s a tried, tested and true sales tactic in the TV industry. Let us know if you’ll be giving this free preview a whirl or not.
