Have a Computer Then Why Pay For Cable

June 12th, 2009

strangebrewIt’s a little harder for us Canadians to get our favorite TV shows on the internet compared to our neighbours to the south but that doesn’t mean we don’t have some options when it comes to online tv. All major Canadian networks stream tv shows from there website. Below is a list of sites you can get your free tv fix on without having to do a lot of searching around.

CTV - Lots of Shows like The Colbert Report, The Daily Show, Degrassi: The Next Generation, Desperate Housewives, Fringe, Gossip Girl, Grey’s Anatomy, Lost

CTV HD – CTV also offers some shows in HD which is great but your limited to 3 shows since this is in beta.

Global – Global has a dozen of shows were you can watch full episodes like 90210, The Office, 24, Heroes, House, Bones, Days of our Lives

City TV – Watch a couple shows like Chuck and Ugly Betty

Now there are more places to stream online content from like the comedy network or discovery channel but most of these are owned by ctv so you can see all that stuff from there site.

Also sometime in the near future Canada should have access to view video from Hulu.com which has a ton of shows. But until then enjoy.
