Where to watch the Scotiabank Giller Prize gala

Tomorrow night’s Scotiabank Giller Prize awards ceremony will be broadcast live on CBC’s new cable channel Bold at 9 p.m. (EST), followed by a rebroadcast on the same channel at 11:05 p.m.

For viewers with digital cable subscriptions, Bold is free for the month of November. Online viewers can catch the livestream on CBC Books or follow the Twitter feed @cbcbooks.

If you prefer the thrill of watching in a crowd, there are Scotiabank Giller Light bashes in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, and Vancouver, all of which support literacy programs at Frontier College. Halifax is hosting its own Giller Lite party, with proceeds going to the Atlantic Book Awards Society.

    Thanks for letting us know that Bold is free this month! Will watch it on TV instead of online then!

    Filled with great anticipation to see the Giller Awards tonite! – Surprised to know must wait until 11pm or have invested in special digital cable to get Bold, …or to see it” in a crowd” at a bookstore – where I would order dinner and then wait until 11:00, or would that be at 9:00 – and what format would be used to view the proceedings – would everyone bring a laptop, their digital phone? or what?
    Why is everything so complicated and inconvenient with high tech?
