[2] On October 1, 2014, Sportsnet PPV expanded its service on Rogers, Source, and potentially other providers to include the types of special events and adult programming previously carried on Viewers Choice.
Prior to October 2014, the Sportsnet PPV service was carried alongside Viewers Choice on Rogers, Cogeco, and Source.
