Canal+ cesse de diffuser des chaînes du groupe TF1 en France et en Afrique
Canal+ stopped broadcasting three thematic channels - TV Breizh, Histoire TV and Ushuaïa TV - in France and others in Africa on Wednesday, which belong to TF1, with each group deploring the situation and passing the buck.
In a statement, the TF1 group said it "regrets this choice, which deprives loyal viewers of channels they love and weakens the documentary sector as a whole."
For its part, the Canal+ group has "acknowledged the failure of discussions with the TF1 group." In a statement, it says it is ready to "resume" them with a view to "reaching an agreement based on reasonable, balanced and sustainable principles, preserving the interests of both groups."
The group is both a content producer, broadcaster and aggregator of external offers, via its myCanal platform and its various offers, allowing customers to access programs from other players.
Specifically, Canal+ has ceased distributing TV Breizh, Ushuaïa TV, and Histoire TV in France and Switzerland. In Africa, where Canal+ has a strong presence, the discontinuation affects TF1, TMC, TFX, TF1 Séries Films, LCI, Ushuaïa TV, and Histoire TV.
These channels remain accessible through other operators, such as Bouygues Telecom, Orange or Free in France.
According to TF1, Canal+'s "decision" is leading it "to reflect on its distribution strategy in a context where the digital offering is developing rapidly".
For its part, Canal+ "regrets having to give up" this broadcast and emphasizes that it continues to maintain "long-term partnerships with all the major historical French players, as well as with the main international streaming platforms".
In 2022, Canal+ stopped broadcasting TF1 channels across all its distribution channels (set-top box, myCanal app, TNT Sat) due to a lack of financial agreement for the renewal of their contract. The dispute was taken to court by TF1, and the two parties eventually reached an agreement.
