MODERATORS
I think it goes without saying - or it should - that watching it through official channels is better for the longevity of the show, if that's an option where you live.
My best guess is that the season 1 ratings on the CTV Sci-Fi channel weren't great, and despite being a massive media conglomerate, they don't really have a "kids' channel" to put it on instead.
I would have said Teletoon is a no-brainer to put it on, but they're owned by Corus/Shaw. I'm so out of the cable game I didn't even realize Teletoon had been retired as a brand and replaced with Cartoon Network.
I went to go looking at the Bell Media offerings and you're right, they simply do not have any kind of kids channel. Both YTV and Cartoon Network are owned by Shaw. They likely just don't want to try to compete in this space, since Shaw would have the rights to basically everything worth airing and streaming.
~~Whatever happened to Shomi? Wasn't that Shaw and Rogers' streaming service?~~ Rogers acquired Shaw a few years back and have the rights to all that stuff now I guess. They put it on StackTV and sell it through Amazon.
Yeah, Crave won the first round of the Canadian streaming wars, and Shomi was shut down.
