FX show "The Bear" unavailable on FX or FXX - WHY ??

[silentbob]

Since I'm ON HOLD in the live chat support area, thought I would post here.  (30+ mins now)  😣

I subscribe to FX & FXX yet the only way to watch The Bear is to subscribe to DISNEY, which I dont.

What's up with that Rogers?  @RogersRob 

It's an FX show, I pay for FX,  why pay for yet another streaming svc??

Hello, @silentbob 

Thank you for posting your inquiry on the community.

It looks like The Bear is available exclusively on Disney+ and Hulu in Canada. 

I can understand how this may be disappointing for you. Once the licensing agreement with Disney has expired FX will most likely retain the rights for this show.

You can't really get upset at Rogers Cable. Rogers as a cable company has no say in what shows are aired and on what networks, they are simply the pipe to bring them to your house. If anything your beef is with the FX Canada and FXX Canada and they can pretty much sell the rights to who ever they want.

You can not compare FX/FXX in the USA to FX/FXX in Canada. Two totally different networks.

FX/FXX USA owns a 33.36% stake of the Canadian FX/FXX, so they are still connected.
