Bell’s Virgin Mobile to Launch Live TV Streaming Service [u]

Bell-owned Virgin Mobile is set to launch a service called Virgin TV, set to debut tomorrow offering early access to existing Members.

According to Virgin Mobile, Virgin TV will join the company’s existing wireless and home internet services line up. Virgin TV, we’re told, will be an app-based service offering live TV and on-demand content, with no need for a set top box or installation.

Virgin Internet Members in Ontario and Quebec will have early access to Virgin TV starting on Tuesday, June 2, 2020. No word on pricing and any other details yet, but we’ll update this post accordingly.

Update: A Virgin Mobile spokesperson told iPhone in Canada the new TV service will be available for iOS, Android and Apple TV 4/4K.
