It’s that time again Big Brother Fans! We have been waiting oh so patiently since Big Brother OTT ended to find out when Big Brother Canada 5 begins and that day is HERE! Global has issued their press releases and we are excited to announce that Big Brother Canada will premier on Wednesday March 15th at 9pm. Now get out your calendars and mark these dates because things have changed. Air dates are now Wednesdays at 9pm, Thursdays at 8pm and Mondays at 9pm.
Now how do you watch? For us Canadians simple. Turn your TV to Global (check your local listings for channel numbers) for the Show and the SideShow and Slice for BBCAN After Dark. You can also check out the Global and Slice websites if you missed shows on TV and your DVR’s have failed you. But Dana you haven’t mentioned the live feeds you say. They are free again everyone. The Big Brother Gods are looking down upon us and showering us with live feed love for yet another year. So go to BigBrotherCanada.ca for all your hamster watching fixations! I haven’t forgotten about you my international fans. Find yourselves a VPN hiding app that you trust, like Hide My Ass or Browsec or Hola and DotVPN turn them on and visit the above websites. Unfortunately for you guys your cable companies haven’t discovered the TV gold that Big Brother Canada is yet so it is not available through your cable providers. I think you should start bombarding CBS with emails NOW!
THIS JUST IN!!!! There is an even easier way to watch BBCAN5 in the States now. Roku TV is streaming Canadian TV HERE. Now because I’m Canadian I can’t navigate the American Roku TV website but I’ve been told you need to click on Streaming Channels and then click NEW to find it. This channel does cost about $2.00 a month and the show is only available live.
YOU CAN ALSO WATCH LIVE AT: www.BMX-TV.net

can you watch the live feeds on the CanadaTV channels on Roku?
Using the Opera VPN on Ipad works I can watch the videos but, installing Opera browser on imac the videos do not work message not available in my area. Not sure what to do?
you need to choose Canada as your Virtual location in the drop down menu after you turn on the VPN in the address bar. That should fix it!
As far as I am aware, the CanadaTV is only for the TV shows, not live feeds, unfortunately. You would still need to use one of the other options to watch the live feeds.
Yes, that is a way to watch the shows. There are lots of people want to watch the feeds because they are completely free.
Also, there is a west coast airing of the show at BMX-tv.net. You can always catch it there if the east coast one doesn’t fit in to your schedule.
Thanks @DANCINAMY that fixed it!!!
are live feeds on
When is after dark coming on slice?
Sadly, there is no After Dark this year.
