"The launch of CBS ALL ACCESS in Canada is a significant milestone for the service," said Marc DeBevoise, President and Chief Operating Officer, CBS Interactive. "We've experienced incredible growth domestically and see a great opportunity to bring the service and CBS' renowned programming directly to international audiences across a range of platforms and devices. We look forward to continuing to expand CBS ALL ACCESS across additional platforms, with even more content, and bringing the service to other markets around the world."

CBS ALL ACCESS brings thousands of episodes of CBS' leading programming to digital platforms, making it simple for fans looking for more CBS content to get it in one easy-to-use, multiplatform service.

At launch, CBS ALL ACCESS includes the following on-demand programming in an advertising-free environment, with more to be added in the coming months:

CBS ALL ACCESS first launched in the U.S. in October 2014 and has grown its subscribers rapidly since that time.

CBS recently announced that it is ahead of that pace with both services reaching a combined total of more than five million subscribers in the first quarter of 2018.
