October 20, 2022

Sports fans in Saskatchewan can rejoice as SaskTel launches three new 4K sports channels on maxTV. Beginning today, maxTV subscribers can now experience their favorite sports like never before thanks to the ultra-clear resolution and enhanced picture quality delivered by TSN 4K, Sportsnet 4K, and Sportsnet One 4K.

"Today's announcement is another step forward in SaskTel's ongoing efforts to provide Saskatchewan residents with some of the best TV and entertainment options available," said Don Morgan, Minister Responsible for SaskTel. "Now and into the future, SaskTel is committed to ensuring its customers can take advantage of the latest in communications and media technology."

"As anyone in Saskatchewan would know, fall is the best time of year to be a sports fan," said Doug Burnett, SaskTel President and CEO. "Whether you're into football, hockey, or baseball, you'd better make sure you have plenty of popcorn on hand because 4K on maxTV will make you feel like you're sitting in the front row."

With four times the pixels of traditional HD, 4K allows viewers to experience unparalleled colour accuracy as well as strikingly smooth visuals which is perfect for watching the big game at home

In the coming months, SaskTel also plans to launch 4K on maxTV Stream. Once launched, SaskTel will deliver the most widely available 4K-capable streaming service in Saskatchewan.

To experience 4K on maxTV, customers will need to subscribe to either the Next Level or Fully Loaded package and need be connected to SaskTel infiNET™ service. Additionally, customers also require a 4K TV and a SaskTel 4K capable set-top box.
