In keeping with new Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission requirements, all channels offered by Cogeco Connexion in Ontario and Québec will henceforth be available either individually or in small packages.

    “With the needs of our clients and their content consumption habits constantly evolving, we are determined to offer them maximum flexibility,” noted Daniel Boisvert, Vice-President, Marketing and Innovation at Cogeco Connexion. “We have always made our customers’ needs our leading priority and we are proud of enhancing their television entertainment experience.”
