Shaw Ignites Holiday Spirit with Return of the Shaw Fire Log

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 23, 2011) - What Christmas is complete without the warm glow and soft crackles of the fireplace? Shaw is excited to announce the return of the beloved Shaw Fire Log, back for its 25^th holiday season, along with other favourite holiday programming for Shaw and Shaw Direct customers.

"We now have a quarter-century of heart-warming Fire Log moments to look back on," said Peter Bissonnette, President, Shaw Communications Inc. "From opening presents in pajamas to getting engaged in front of the fire - the Shaw Fire Log has become a source of touching stories and Canadian tradition."

This year there are more ways than ever to experience the warm glow of the perfect fire. From now until January 6, Shaw Cable customers can enjoy the Fire Log 24/7 on the Frame channel (165 SD and 212 HD) or as a free order on Video On Demand. Shaw Direct customers can also curl up in front of the Fire Log by accessing INFO299 at select times or by downloading for free at vod.shawdirect.ca. Please check your local guide times to confirm Fire Log air times and channels.

Shaw is stoked to also announce that the Shaw Fire Log is now on social media. Watch us poke fun at the Fire Log throughout the holiday season by following @ShawFireLog on Twitter.

In addition to the Fire Log, customers can also celebrate the holidays with Galaxie music channels.
