We’re all surviving mainly on TV and Netflix at this point anyway, right?

Starhub has been previewing their channels for free since March 20, 2020. Recently, however, the service announced that they would be extending this period of free channel previews up to May 4 on both StarHub Entertainment and StarHub Go.

A statement on the Starhub website reads:

We know staying at home can get pretty boring. To make your stay home experience more enjoyable, we’re giving all StarHub customers a Free Preview of selected channels on StarHub Entertainment and StarHub Go from Fri, 20 Mar, 12pm to Mon, 4 May, 12pm!

Here’s a list of the channels that will be available for free during this period:

In case you missed it, StarHub has done a number of other things to help out during this pandemic, including giving healthcare professionals six months of unlimited local talk time. Singtel isn't standing by idly, either. Singtel consumers are getting three months of free access to Singtel Cast, which gives them access to channels like Discovery, Asian Food Network, Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. Singtel TV consumers will also get free access to 30 channels.

The telco is also raising S$2 million to provide financial support for impacted communities, and put together a care package of free services for consumers. Read more about these local telcos' efforts here.
