Since then VMedia\u2019s competitors have revealed their packaging changes and their skinny basic packages, and there has been quite a bit of coverage in the media.<\/p>\n<p>VMedia is pleased to learn that, at $17.95, VMedia\u2019s pioneering <strong><em>TheSkinny<\/em><\/strong> package remains the lowest price and the best value skinny basic package in the market. And note, that great price <u>includes<\/u> the four major US networks, ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox, and PBS.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, in keeping with VMedia&#8217;s core mission of providing more choice and flexibility in TV services, at the best prices &#8211; we are not trying to hide our skinny basic service, or the many options that let our subscribers assemble the packages they want, based on the channels they watch.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, we have expanded our <strong><em>UChoose<\/em><\/strong> store, adding over thirty more channels, including major premium channels like A&amp;E, AMC, CNN and many others. Customizing your TV packages has never been easier!<\/p>\n<p>These added <strong><em>UChoose<\/em><\/strong> channels reflect the new wholesale pricing that VMedia has to pay as a result of the new rules. And for those who want only a very few specific channels, then combining them with <strong><em>TheSkinny <\/em><\/strong>or <strong><em>Basic <\/em><\/strong>may be the solution for you.<\/p>\n<p>However, keep in mind that if you are considering <strong><em>TheSkinny<\/em><\/strong> or <strong><em>Basic<\/em><\/strong> and 2, 3 or more \u00a0<strong><em>UChoose <\/em><\/strong>channels \u00a0&#8211; depending on which channels you are adding\u00a0 &#8211; it may be more worthwhile, a much better value, \u00a0to choose our <strong><em>Premium Basic<\/em><\/strong> package \u00a0instead. Those selected channels are likely included in <strong><em>Premium Basic<\/em><\/strong> which comes with thirty of the most popular channels in Canada. As the saying goes &#8211; \u2018do the math\u2019 and compare your choices with the high-value <strong><em>Premium Basic<\/em><\/strong> TV package.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of choices, lots to think about, but whatever way you choose to proceed, VMedia will be there to give you what you want.\u00a0 So enjoy the new rules!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently VMedia provided an outline of how our TV packages and offerings would change as we absorb the new rules that the CRTC introduced, effective March 1.
