The channel doesn’t have any broadcast rights in Canada. They look to be a very small player broadcasting in 480i and distributed mainly via OTA. The odds of them coming to Canada is slim.

They would have to apply to the CRTC to distribute the channel. But being OTA distribution pretty much puts counts then out.

I’m currently staying at a hotel in Niagara Falls Ontario and they have it on their TV here

Niagara Falls?  Isn't that close enough to the US border that an Over The Air (OTA) signal from Niagara Falls could be included by the hotel in their television offering?

Escape TV is broadcast over the air from just over the border in Buffalo NY. That channel is still not available through any Canadian service provider. (Bell, Rogers, Telus, Shaw, etc)

 

The big problem Escape will have coming to Canada is that other channels in Canada, or Netflix, already own the broadcast rights to most of the content they provide.

 

Some of the content airs on Escape TV that is easily available in Canada:
