Watch What You Say, Vancouver! Shaw BlueSky TV Offers TV Like Never Before

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb. 1, 2017) - Shaw Communications Inc. (TSX:SJR.B)(TSX:SJR.PR.A)(TSX:SJR.PR.B)(NYSE:SJR)(TSX VENTURE:SJR.A) today announced the Vancouver launch of Shaw BlueSky TV™, the new best-in-class premium television product that you control with a game-changing voice remote.

Launched recently in Calgary, Shaw BlueSky TV is redefining TV with more product and feature benefits than any other service available in Canada today.

"Shaw BlueSky TV is already changing the way customers watch TV in Calgary." said Jay Mehr, President, Shaw Communications. "We are now pleased to bring the premium service to hundreds of thousands of families and homes in the Lower Mainland, and give them the television experience they can't get anywhere else. Just say it, then see it."

Powered by the technology of Comcast's next generation X1 platform, Shaw BlueSky TV combines an industry-leading, easy-to-use interface featuring voice-activated navigation, with content recommendations, customized apps, and social media features. With Shaw BlueSky TV, customers have access to all of their favourite content in one place including live programming, PVR recordings, on-demand shows, and TV Everywhere services.

The revolutionary feature of Shaw BlueSky TV is its next generation voice-activated search functionality. Using intuitive voice commands, users can search for content by actor, genre or famous movie quote, or simply ask "what's trending" to activate Shaw BlueSky TV's database of popular selections. The days of aimlessly scrolling through channels are in the past.

Parents will love the KidsZone, which features age-appropriate content, easy-to-use parental controls, and program descriptions written by parents for parents to help provide peace-of-mind when little ones are using the voice remote and browsing.

Sports fans will never miss a goal, touchdown, run, stat, or score with the customizable BlueSky TV sports experience. Shaw BlueSky TV's built-in sports app gets the sports fan closer to the action with the ability to set and record games of their favourite teams, get robust standings, in-game player stats, and next-generation playback that highlights important plays. If you're a sports fan, Shaw BlueSky TV is a must-have.

Shaw BlueSky TV is now available for Shaw customers in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Combined with Shaw WideOpen Internet 150 and the FreeRange TV app, BlueSky TV gives customers access to Shaw's superior speeds and products on demand. Whether riding the SkyTrain, out on the town, or enjoying downtime at home, enjoy your content where you want, when you want.
