TORONTO: Canada’s CTV has made its TV Everywhere service CTV GO compatible with the Google Chromecast device.

The new CTV GO app features a redesigned look and full support for Google Chromecast. Its content includes full-length episodes and extras, which are accessible on Android and iOS phones and tablets. The Chromecast availability will allow viewers to send titles from their phones to their TVs via Google’s media streaming device.

“As viewing habits continue to evolve, Bell Media is committed to continuing our momentum of providing the latest TV technology to our viewers,” said Domenic Vivolo, the executive VP of content sales and distribution marketing at Bell Media, which owns CTV. “As the first Canadian broadcaster to support Google Chromecast, we are offering viewers an unparalleled TVE experience, giving them great programming wherever and whenever they want to see it.”

“We’re excited to have CTV as the first Canadian broadcaster available on Chromecast,” said Suveer Kothari, the director of Chromecast partnerships for Google. “With the CTV GO app and Chromecast, Canadians will now be able to use the devices they already own, like phones, tablets and laptops to find and cast their favorite CTV programs to their TV screen with a simple tap.”
