Sony Crackle Shuts Down In Canada
by Dade Hayes, June 26, 2018 11:29am

Sony Crackle is halting operations in Canada this week, shifting its portfolio to two non-Sony VOD services.

The move follows last month’s news of a dozen layoffs at the ad-supported streaming service and heralds a new focus on the U.S. and Latin American markets.

In a statement obtained by Deadline, the company said, “As part of a recently announced partnership between Sony Pictures Television and Bell Media, some content that was available on Sony Crackle in Canada will be available on Bell Media’s new VOD services, CTV Movies and CTV Vault, later this year. Sony Crackle will continue to focus on its longform original content in the U.S. and Latin America. We want to thank the loyal viewers in Canada that have enjoyed our service throughout the years.”

The combination to the CTV Vault is 666.

Crackle Canada was already a weakened version of the US version thanks to the hijacking previously done by Shomi.

And now that Bell and Sony have just allowed the assisted suicide of Crackle Canada to be finalized, most Canadians will wonder why Rob Ford was a fan of the service in the first place ... sorry, but Rob Ford preferred the French version, Le Crack.
