CANAL+ GROUP REGRETS HAVING TO CEASE DISTRIBUTION OF TF1 GROUP’S THEMATIC CHANNELS IN FRANCE AND SWITZERLAND

CANAL+ Group acknowledges that discussions with the TF1 Group have broken down and will therefore cease distributing its thematic channels TV Breizh, Ushuaïa TV and Histoire TV in France and Switzerland.

The Group would like to remind subscribers in France that they will continue to receive the TF1, TMC, TFX, TF1 Séries Films and LCI channels, together with their associated catch-up services, as part of their CANAL+ pack.

While CANAL+ Group maintains long-term partnerships with all major French broadcasters as well as with the leading international streaming platforms, and despite several months of negotiations, it was unable to reach a comprehensive agreement, even though it was prepared to improve the terms in every respect for TF1.

Nevertheless, CANAL+ Group remains open to dialogue and is willing to resume discussions with a view to reaching an agreement based on reasonable, balanced and sustainable terms that safeguard the interests of both groups.
