"With the launch of these new digital sites, W Dish and W View, we are giving our audiences more ways to experience W Network's popular brand by offering a rich, curated selection of bite-sized, up-to-the-moment digital content that appeals to women online," said Sue Mackay, Vice President, Digital, Women & Family, Corus Entertainment.
