Shomi (pronounced like "show me", stylized as shomi) is a Canadian subscription video on demand service jointly owned by Rogers Communications and Shaw Communications. The service is viewed as a Canadian-based competitor to Netflix, with a library of 1,200 films and 11,000 hours worth of television programs available on launch. Shomi content can be accessed as an over-the-top service through the service's website and apps, or through the video on demand libraries of participating television providers. The service emphasizes manually curated categories of content, in contrast to the algorithmic approach used by competing services.
As of its beta launch on November 4, 2014, the service was not available as a standalone product and could only be purchased by internet and television subscribers of Rogers and Shaw. Since August 20, 2015, this restriction has been removed, and the service is available standalone. It competes directly with other subscription-based over-the-top streaming services, such as Bell Media's CraveTV.
