Although we have made the decision to temporarily grant free access to CBC News Network on Gem, CBC Gem premium is not free.
A News Network Free Preview is scheduled for October 1 - Nov 7, 2024 to provide Canadians access to News Network for a limited period of time.
Normally, access to CBC News Network is also included as a Gem premium feature, but CBC News Network has been made temporarily available for free on CBC Gem, allowing Canadians access to our 24/7 News channel for news and analysis when Canadians want it, including several political events that will be occurring in the near future (US Election, Saskatchewan Provincial Election, future Canadian Federal Election).
It has also been made temporarily available for free to all subscribers on Bell TV, Rogers, Cogeco, Eastlink, and SaskTel, among others.
Please note that in addition to News Network access, your premium subscription provides an ad-free viewing experience for CBC Gem’s extensive library of hundreds of on-demand shows and movies, including comedies, dramas, and documentaries. A premium subscription also provides exclusive early access to select programs, with many more on the way.
You may cancel your Premium membership at any time, although we do hope you’ll stay with us.
