CBC joins Mininova, distributing TV show for free

Hi all!

Good news: Canada’s public broadcaster CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) joined Mininova’s recently launched Content Distribution service in order to distribute the new TV Show Canada’s Next Great Prime Minister.

The show, which premiered last Sunday, will be published annualy on Mininova one day after the TV airtime. The copies are of high quality (720×486 XViD) and come without any DRM restrictions. The choice for BitTorrent as distribution protocol is obvious: the distribution costs are practically zero.

Interested in the show? Check out CBC’s user page or subscribe to their RSS feed. Make sure to download an episode and leave your comments.

For more information, check the coverage of TorrentFreak on this story.

We’re very much looking forward to other broadcasters following CBC’s example. Stay tuned for updates!

  • Big whoop-de-doo! One show. One lousy show. Want this to mean something, CBC? Post Corner Gas and Little Mosque on the Prairie and other good shows. Go back into your vaults and pull out Puppets Who Kill and others and post those. THEN, this would be news.

  • Anyone else find that refreshing mininova.org occasionally it redirects your browser to antispywareexpert.com ? which appears to be some phishing/malware/spyware type site judging from google searching it, what the fuck is going on? I’ve added “127.0.0.1 antispywareexpert.com” to my hosts file so if I get redirected there in future I don’t actually visit the webpage.

  • Wow,this is history goin down and im glad mininova and its staff are breaking the mold.Hats off.

  • So far they’re just uploading typical CBC crap; none of the good stuff.

  • Yay, CBC…but why cancel a great show like jPod which would be ideal for this, and then do something wonderful and give us a craptacular show instead?
    One step forward, 2 steps back. CBC…maybe one day….you’ll get it right.

  • i think this has huge potential to be awsome. CBC is Canada’s olympic network, so if they did this with that it means you wouldn’t have to stay up all night to catch something/wait for the rebroadcast, but watch it exactly when you want to.

  • big up yourself CBC….

  • Jpod is an awesome show… the CBC cancelled it, aired it on Friday Nights when the demographic for the show is most likely not at home. Pretty much everybody and their sister watched it online…. so why, WHY? would the CBC not offer jPod in this format?

    All fine and dandy that the CBC is doing this, but how many people are flocking to watch Canada’s Next Great Prime Minister online? Is Auntie Martha rushing to her computer to watch Heartland? *shakes head*
