Available exclusively on CTV.ca and the CTV app, CTV Throwback and CTV Movies are home to thousands of hours of television and movies with no subscription or sign-in required.

MUST-WATCH TITLES FOR APRIL CTV Movies is a barrel of laughs this April, offering free streaming of evergreen comedies, including Pineapple Express, starring Seth Rogen and Danny McBride (VICE PRINCIPALS); Superbad, featuring Canadian actor Michael Cera (Juno) alongside Jonah Hill; and White Chicks, starring Marlon Wayans (Little Man), Shawn Wayans (Scary Movie), and Busy Philipps. CTV Throwback joins the fun with free streaming of entertaining comedies now added to the service:

• KEVIN CAN WAIT, dropping April 2, finds newly-retired police officer Kevin Gable (Kevin James, THE KING OF QUEENS) face tougher challenges at home than he ever did on the street after realizing his family’s needs don’t leave for a lot of free time.
• Created, written, and co-executive produced by series lead Ken Jeong (THE MASKED SINGER), DR. KEN, arriving April 9, centres on Dr. Kendrick “Ken” Park, an intelligent physician who tries to balance his personal life and career while dealing with his therapist wife and demanding children.
• Landing April 16, workplace comedy BREAKING IN (2011) follows the ridiculous schemes of employees at a high-tech security firm, managed by Oz (Christian Slater, True Romance), that takes extreme – and often questionable – measures to sell their protection services.

GET OUTSIDE HUB Launching March 27, CTV.ca’s Get Outside Hub celebrates the warm weather with four curated collections of “al fresco-inspired” films, including: The Great Outdoors, Play Ball!, Where the Wild Things Are, and Throwback. Must-see titles as part of the collections include Magic Mike, featuring Channing Tatum (21 Jump Street), Alex Pettyfer (I Am Number Four), Matthew McConaughey, and Olivia Munn (The Newsroom); Hachi: A Dog’s Tale, starring Richard Gere and Joan Allen (Room), and more. 4/20 COLLECTION CTV.ca celebrates the cannabis-themed day with the launch of its 4/20 Collection, dropping April 16. The network’s digital platform will offer free streaming of a hybrid slate of comedies, including: Puff Puff Pass, starring Danny Masterson (THAT ‘70s SHOW), Mo Collins (PARKS AND RECREATION), and Terry Crews (BROOKLYN NINE-NINE); and sci-fi comedy series Space Station 76, featuring Patrick Wilson (Aquaman), Liv Tyler (9-1-1: LONE STAR), Matt Bomer (Magic Mike), and Jerry O’Connell (CARTER), among others.
