History
In June 2018, France Télévisions, the TF1 Group and the Groupe M6 announced the creation of a joint streaming service as a response to the many American services available in France, like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.[4][5] Similar to Joyn in Germany and BritBox in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and South Africa. This is mainly due to trends with younger generations shunning terrestrial TV in favor of streaming services, with traditional TV fearing that they have no choice but to adapt in the rapidly changing television market.[6]
