In the upcoming months, the Global TV App is becoming the STACKTV App, featuring a refreshing experience that keeps the shows, news, and streaming you love right at your fingertips.
While the name and look are changing, app users can still count on free access to thousands of hours of TV shows and movies live and on-demand, 24/7 Global News channels, and select episodes of Global’s hit primetime series for seven days after they air.*
The refreshed app brings together everything you love about the Global TV App with a modern new design and even more ways to watch. In addition to the free content already available, viewers can choose to subscribe to the add-on STACKTV subscription for access to live and on-demand programming from Corus’ top networks including Home Network, Flavour Network, Showcase, W Network, Adult Swim, and more, all within the same app.
If you already have the Global TV App on your device, there’s nothing you need to do. Your app will automatically update to the new STACKTV App, and you can simply open it and start streaming. Cable subscribers can also continue to sign in with their TV provider credentials to unlock streaming access included with their cable package.
The STACKTV App will be available across your favourite devices, including iOS, Android, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Samsung Smart TVs, LG Smart TVs, and more.**
So, whether you’re catching up on your favourite Global series, staying informed with Global News, or exploring something new, the STACKTV App makes it easier than ever to watch the content you love.
