Paramount in VOD Agreements with Canada's Shaw, SaskTel
(except from ITVT)
Paramount Pictures has signed separate, non-exclusive VOD agreements with two major Canadian MSO's: cable operator, Shaw Cablesystems (which operates cable networks throughout Western Canada), and telco, SaskTel (which operates an ADSL-based IPTV network in Saskatchewan).
The deals will provide the MSO's with such titles as "Coach Carter," "Alfie," "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie," "Team America World Police," and "Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events."
Shaw claims to have around 1,700 titles available in its VOD library every month, while SaskTel claims to have around 500.
