Virgin Mobile to launch app-based live TV and on-demand streaming service [Update]

Customers in Ontario and Quebec will get early access to the service on June 2nd

Virgin Mobile is launching a new app-based TV service, and will be giving its internet customers in Ontario and Quebec early access.

The carrier says in addition to its mobile phone and home internet services, it is now going to provide a new alternative for members who rely on OTT services for their entertainment. The app-based service, which is called Virgin TV, doesn’t require a set top box or any installation, and will provide members with access to live TV and on-demand content.

A spokesperson from Virgin Mobile tells MobileSyrup that the early access will be open to all current Virgin Mobile internet members in Ontario and Quebec on June 2nd.

There currently aren’t any other details regarding the service, such as pricing, but we’ll learn more about the service once it opens up for early access.

A preview mode of the app provides details of which channels will be included.
