TEXADA ISLAND - CityWest is proud to announce the acquisition of the Gillies Bay Community TV Association and the Texada Community Television Association. Both businesses operate on Texada Island, providing cable TV services to residents and businesses in their respective communities.
This acquisition comes after months of collaboration to find a new solution for TV and Internet services in the communities. CityWest will bring these services to GBCTVA and TCTVA customers through their new Stream TV platform, providing an improved TV experience for viewers.
“Texada Community Television Association is pleased, after 70 years of service to be able to partner with CityWest to bring our Van Anda television service into the twenty-first century.” – Texada Community Television Association Board of Directors
“CityWest truly understands what it takes to improve connectivity to remote communities. Their vision for Gillies Bay will improve the lives of residents and visitors alike. We are thrilled to partner with CityWest and look forward to what the future holds for Texada Island.” – Gerry Johnson, Gillies Bay Community TV Association
CityWest will take over the existing infrastructure that both companies have managed, providing cable TV services and Internet to homes on Texada Island. In short, customers of both associations can expect a smooth transition as CityWest works with their local leadership teams. Customers will not notice a change in their bill or existing service.
“CityWest’s business model thrives on collaborating with local communities and organizations. We saw an opportunity to help bring these communities improved television services, while working with two great Texada organizations. Social responsibility is important to us, and we’re excited to bring an improved experience to these communities for decades to come.” – Stefan Woloszyn, CEO of CityWest.
