Canal+ Afrique, originally Canal+ Horizons or Canal Horizons, is an African version of subscription TV provider Canal+. It was originally available mainly in the francophone countries of Central and West Africa, as well as some non-francophone countries such as Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Ghana, and Cape Verde, but has expanded considerably since its first broadcasts in December 1991. Groupe Canal+ has its biggest market in Africa since its acquisition of 32.6% of South African provider MultiChoice in June 2023.

History

On 18 April 1990, Canal+ Horizons (also referred to as Canal Horizons) was launched as an African subsidiary of the French subscription television service Canal+.[1] Canal+ president André Rousselet headed the organisation from January 1991 until December 1993, when former former French communications minister Catherine Tasca was appointed. At that time, channel had 25,998 subscribers, mostly in Tunisia and Senegal.[2] Canal Horizons was modelled on the French Canal+ TV channel, starting its terrestrial broadcasting service in December 1991.[1] In November 1992 it started offering direct-to-home satellite broadcasting, which was capable of reaching the Middle East.[2]

In January 1994, Canal Horizons started broadcasting in the Ivory Coast.[2]

In the 2010s, Canal+ transitioned from the NSS-7 satellite, which provided limited coverage in West Africa, to a new SES-4 satellite, which had reach further south and eastwards towards the Great Lakes. By December 2018, there were 4 million subscribers in Africa, making the Canal+ Group the leading pay TV operator on the continent. By then, it was broadcasting high-definition channels across Africa, even in remote locations. Its reach was around 40% of TV households, with the whole Canal+ Group's offerings including over 200 channels, radio stations, and other services, while the Canal+ Afrique's platform offered more than 50 channels.[3]

On 30 June 2023, the Canal+ Group bought 144.2 million shares (32.6% of the capital) in the South African subscription provider MultiChoice, which, with 20 million subscribers, is the market leader in English and Portuguese-speaking Africa. Their main competitor on the continent is the Chinese-owned StarTimes; however, estimated audience shares by 2028 are 32 million for Canal+/MultiChoice and 19 million for StarTimes.[4]

Canal+ Afrique had 8.1 million subscribers at the end of 2023.[5]

Description

According to Bloomberg, "Canal+ Afrique operates as a TV channel [and] broadcasts cinemas, sports, music, serials, movies, news, discovery programs, and other entertainment activities".[6]

As of May 2024, Canal+ operates in more than 25 countries in Africa through 16 subsidiaries and provides access to over 400 channels.[a][5]
