What is the wait time for newly released episodes to appear on VODs for Fibe TV?

Hi there, I am wondering what the wait time is when it comes to using the Fibe TV app on-demand for newly released episodes of a show (such as on Disney Channel).

To further clarify, some VOD services have certain times they release new episodes of a show depending on both regions and just what the provider allows them to do. Services like iTunes or YouTube TV release episodes at 3am EST (mostly because it is Pacific-based), whereas other services like Xfinity in the US release theirs at 12am EST. So I am just wondering what time Bell Fibe TV VODs release new episodes. 

For even further clarification, say I am using Xfinity, and a new episode of a show is airing on cable on Saturday, 8:30pm EST, what my service does because I am using on-demand, it allows me to see the episode way earlier than cable users (in this case Saturday, 12am EST rather than 8:30pm). So tracing back to my question, what times does Fibe TV on demand do this?

It depends on which shows and channel u r watching and using. Like for crave, shows aired seem to be available the next day, but for some shows that r also airing on other channels, most recent on-demands, I mean all the episodes available w/ ctv life, didn’t come to crave at least around 2 weeks later. Didn’t notice for most situations, since most shows will be available for downloading sooner or later hehe.
