Summer Go Apps

Read Time: 5 minutes 

Summary: Leaving the house this summer doesn't mean you can't watch your favourite shows on TV. With Westman GO Apps, you can still enjoy free live streaming and on demand video content as a Westman Communications Group TV subscriber! Plus, there are lots of GO Apps you can choose from to enjoy! Read on to know more about some of them and how to enjoy GO Apps on your summer trip. 

----------------------

Summer is here! After an extended winter, Manitobans can't wait to get out and enjoy the beautifully warm and sunny weather. Get ready to bust out the shorts and shades (if you still haven't!) and confirm your reservation to your favourite vacation spot. For those who have kids, school has wrapped up, so you can just about pack your bags, gear and line up the RV for that much-deserved summer vacation.  

One thing we reluctantly leave behind when we go on our summer trips is our TVs for fear of missing the next episode of your favourite series - Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, a pivotal Stanley Cup Final game, or even the news. Fear no more! As a Westman Communications Group TV subscriber, you can stream on demand some of your favourite programs anytime, anywhere with our GO Apps on your preferred devices such as your smartphone, tablet or laptop computer at no added cost!  

You can choose from several Westman GO apps to download and install. So which ones should you take along with you? Here are five GO App recommendations to keep everyone on your summer trip entertained and smiling. 

 Global TV

Want to keep up to date with the latest news from around the country and internationally? The Global TV App is your best bet. You can hit the News icon on the app, and all the live streams of Global News (National, BC, Toronto, Winnipeg, etc.) will be at your disposal. Other news programs and clips on current issues and new topics of interest are also available for you. 

The app is also home to some of the most-watched networks in Canada to suit different preferences and lifestyles: Food Network, HGTV, National Geographic, Adult Swim, W Network, Slice, Showcase and History. Live and on demand content of these networks will be available for viewing! 

You will surely be thoroughly entertained, and well-informed with the Global TV GO app! 

 CTV 

The CTV GO App offers a massive range of reality shows, movies, and series (old and new!) that everyone can choose from. The app includes CTV Movies, CTV Comedy, CTV Throwbacks, CTV Sci-Fi, CTV Life and CTV Drama to guide you through their video content easily. So, whether you're looking for "MasterChef" (CTV Life) or "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah" (CTV Comedy), or even "Who's The Boss?" (CTV Throwback), you'll easily know where to find them. 

For young adults, the app also offers great videos and features from MTV. The CTV GO App also has a healthy selection of Discovery Channel shows for knowledge-seekers. 

You won't get bored with the CTV GO App with all the different content. 

 TSN 

Leaving the house without access to scores and updates of your favourite teams and players can be tough on sports fans.  

Are you the type of fan that always wants to get into the action when the game happens, as it happens? Do you just hate it when you can't watch or even check the live score of your favourite team's match? We've got you covered with the TSN GO App. Not only can you check live scores, stats, features and highlights, but you can also watch some of the games live! You'll never miss a game wherever you are with this wonderful GO App. It's the next best thing to being in the arena watching the game itself.  

With content and live streams from the NHL (ice hockey), NBA (basketball), CFL, NFL (American football), the EPL (soccer), Formula 1 (motor racing), and much more, the TSN GO App is a sports fan's best friend on summer trips. 

 Stingray Music

This great service streams beats of different genres from their massive music libraries, curated by music experts from around the globe. The Stingray GO App is available to most Westman Communications Group TV subscribers (it’s not available with Westman InfiniTV) and has something for your every mood, moment, and place. Whether singing along with your friends or entertaining the kids in the back seat, this is the perfect companion to make that road trip more enjoyable! Most definitely a must-have for any trip. 

 Crave 

This great app has a little bit of everything for everyone. Crave features blockbuster movies and the latest series from network giants such as HBO, Showtime and Starz.  

The content you can enjoy spans several genres that can offer something for most viewer preferences. You can take your pick from the formidable line-up of HBO Originals such as "Barry" and "The Flight Attendant" or Showtime Series like "Yellowjackets" and "The First Lady." The kids can also get into the fun from a selection of age-appropriate shows with such titles as "Sesame Street" and "King Fu Panda" for the younger ones and all the "Harry Potter" movies for the more mature children. 

You can easily navigate this app as it conveniently allows you to browse through content per network, per genre, and even show you video content related to a specific title. It has never been this easy to find all "James Bond: 007" movies or all "Star Trek" movies and series since they are all shown to you on one page! 

Fun Fact: most apps stream videos at 1080p resolution, but if you stream your video on Crave via Chromecast, you can enjoy crystal-clear 4k movies!  

Simply put: the Crave Go App is awesome!
