As of Nov 30, Shomi will cease to exists. They lost out on the HBO and Showtime shows to CraveTV and could never make up the difference. I signed on initially, I wanted to watch Louie without commercials.

And Texture could be next, magazines do not give their products away for free.

Rogers year so far:

Yet we still lose since a certain HBO show (GOT cough, cough) is still not available on Crave and we're locked out of HBO Now unless you're prepared to go the VPN route.

Once I upgrade to a smartTV. I'm getting an Android box and going with basic cable.

Rogers will get this from me.

As for magazines they should be free. 95% of the Magazines revenue is advertising and not subcription. Every other page has at least a full page ad. So magazines should be free.

Magazine revenue online is 70% less than on paper, 0.0 if you have an ad-blocker. This is why my prime subscriptions like The Economist and Bloomberg's want me to stick to paper.

Otherwise they'd be in a sorry ass state.
