BuyNOW TV

BuyNOW TVwas a Canadian English language specialty television channel owned by BuyNOW Media Inc. which is wholly owned by serial entrepreneur Evan Kosiner.
BuyNOW TV was a direct response shopping channel that broadcast infomercials. The channel's programming featured products from a variety of categories including fitness, cooking, fashion, wellness, beauty, electronics, and more.
BuyNOW TV's screen was formatted with a smaller video screen than most other television channels with the right and bottom portions of the screen consisting of a ticker, consisting of static advertisements.
BuyNOW TV was classified as a teleshopping service by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and, thus, was exempted from requiring a CRTC-issued licence to operate and most other CRTC requirements to which pay TV and specialty channels are subject to.
History
The channel launched in the summer of 2014 initially on Rogers Cable in both standard and high definition television in Ontario, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador. The channel was subsequently launched on additional television service providers - Zazeen and V Media, along with live streaming on YouTube.
Without any announcement or press coverage, the channel was discontinued in 2017.
