National Free Previews

This thread is to discuss free previews that a channel is offering to all providers that carry the channel.

Please post only those free previews that are announced as national and include a link, if possible.

Free previews that are available on multiple unrelated providers are also acceptable. For example, Shaw Direct and Shaw Cable count as one provider; Bell Satellite, Bell Fibe and Bell Aliant count as one provider. The reason for allowing that discussion in this thread is to alert people that a channel preview is available, since some providers don't publicize their previews very well.

To discuss free previews on individual providers please use the free preview thread in that providers forum:

Canadian Internet, Phone, TV and Wireless Service Providers

A free preview is a cooperative promotion between the channel and the provider, so even if a preview is national, some providers may not offer it.

EDIT: See the last few pages for current previews.

^^^^ Awesome! I am subscribed to their YouTube channel but would rather watch it on the big screen.
They have incredible documentaries.

A Chromecast is a great little investment for that purpose. I tend to think that's the reason Viceland has problems as a channel getting subscribers: so much of its audience can simply get the shows on demand already that why bother with a scheduled version?
