No. TELUS STORYHIVE does NOT pay any license fees for completed programs selected for distribution on our Optik TV Video on Demand platform. Our financial contribution for projects which receive distribution support is for closed captioning and re-encoding so that the content complies with CRTC broadcast regulations and our technical requirements. Accepted projects receive exposure and gain audience by being made available for free on Optik TV Video on Demand to our 1,000,000+ Optik TV subscribers in BC and Alberta.
