RiverTV is a Canadian OTT internet television service owned by VMedia that launched on June 4, 2020.[1] RiverTV is a virtual multichannel video programming distributor (vMVPD),[a] primarily offering Canadian specialty channels and video on demand content.[3]

The service initially launched in a closed beta on May 4, 2020 before releasing publicly in June with a free 7-day trial offer for new subscribers.[4][5]

RiverTV is the first standalone Live TV service to launch in Canada; StackTV, a streaming package offered by Corus Entertainment that functions similarly, launched the previous year in 2019.
