TORONTO - A slate of Canadian programs from the CBC like "The Tudors," as well as various other popular television shows and movies, are headed to Netflix Canada.
The video streaming website says it has signed various licensing agreements with major distributors for "hundreds of new titles" available to its subscribers.
The list includes Canadian TV shows like "Republic of Doyle," a CBC comedy-drama series that will be made available on Netflix the day after it airs on television, as well as "Kids in the Hall" and "The Tudors."
Other content includes the U.S. cable series "The Big C," starring Laura Linney, Emmy-nominated reality show "Undercover Boss" and seasons of "Saturday Night Live."
Netflix (Nasdaq:NFLX) made its Canadian debut in September with a streaming-only service, but the company has chosen to avoid offering DVDs by mail like it does in the United States.
The service streams on PCs, Macs, iPhones and iPads, Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 3 and some Blu-ray players.
