While the country is preparing to take a measure of total containment, the encrypted channel wants to accompany the French who are confined to the house. He does not want to leave Netflix or Disney + which arrives in France on March 24, the monopoly of attention.
Suddenly, Maxime Saada, general manager of the Canal + group decided to make a unique gesture in the history of the channel born in 1984
The encrypted channel is therefore offered in clear for all viewers using a telecom operator box to access the TV, during the confinement period. For its subscribers, Canal + offers, in addition to the basic subscription, access to the thematic channels for youth, cinema and documentary series. They are therefore not penalized compared to non-subscribers.
When contacted, the chain emphasizes that it decided to do so without having calculated the amount of the shortfall for the group.
