Canal+ Group is a French media and telecommunications conglomerate. It is owned and controlled by Vivendi and has a film library in excess of 5,000 films. It is headquartered in Issy-les-Moulineaux, in the suburbs of Paris.[2] It has operations in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Poland, Romania, Hungary, in the Czech Republic, Myanmar, Vietnam, and in 23 African countries.

The Wall Street Journal described Canal+ as "the French film industry's biggest financial backer, beloved by French cineastes".[3]

It is a major source of finance for domestic film production, participating in the financing of the vast majority of films produced in France. It also has its own subsidiary companies with direct involvement in film production.[4]

StudioCanal, one of those subsidiaries, announced in 2011 that it would now spend €200 million a year on movie production, establishing its position as "the first port of call outside the U.S. for intelligent upmarket movies" such as Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy which is fully financed by the studio.[5]

Former channels

Former streaming

Canal+

Canal+ has operations in France, Poland, Vietnam and Myanmar, Rwanda[6] and other world nations not yet listed through its flagship brand Canal+. It is encrypted for most of the day, and viewers who wish to watch the channel's more popular programming (new-release movies and live sport) must subscribe to the service. Previously this involved the purchase of a decoder to decrypt the signal, but increasingly Canal+ is being offered as part of a multi-channel satellite or cable television package (known as CanalSat in France.).

Former operations

Canal Plus was the first cable TV channel to operate in Brazil, in 1989. It operated on the MMDS system and broadcast part of ESPN programming. Its Brazilian operations were sold to Grupo Abril in 1991.[7][8]

Canal+ has previously also been present in several other European countries such as Spain, Italy (as Tele+) and the Netherlands as early as 1990, but as of 2016 it is only active in Poland and France, due to many of these divisions being sold to other companies such as Sky Europe and Movistar.[citation needed] Canal+ would begin returning to European markets outside of France and Poland in 2022, as a streaming service, in countries such as Austria, Czechia and Slovakia.

Canal Plus came to the Nordic countries in 1997, acquiring the two FilmNet-channels and renaming them. The Nordic part was sold in October 2003 to the Telenor-owned Canal Digital, and the Canal+ brand was used under license until 2012, when the channels were re-branded C More Entertainment.

Canal+ Hi-Tech was a private television channel in France dedicated to the broadcasting of films in 16:9 aspect ratio and HDTV. Canal+ 16/9 changed its name to Canal+ Hi-Tech in March 2005. Through this change, the channel offered the latest technological advances in terms of image and sound, especially with high-definition programs. The channel was deleted when switching Canal+ to the 16:9 format.[citation needed]

Canal+ 3D was born on June 10, 2010, to broadcast some matches of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in 3D. It regularly broadcast films or sporting events of Canal+ in stereoscopic 3D format.[citation needed] It stopped broadcasting on January 24, 2012.[9]

StudioCanal

StudioCanal is a production company formed in 1988, associated with NBCUniversal until 2011.[10] Nowadays, StudioCanal is operating in several countries such as Germany, Japan, or Australia.[11] For the movie industry, it is a major player at the European level.[12]

Canal+ (provider)

Formerly Canal Satellite Numérique, a pay satellite and IPTV distributor (as CanalSAT DSL). Canal+ is a satellite TV package launched in 1992 as an extension to the original Canal+ analogue channel.[13] A merger between CanalSat and its main competitor TPS started in 2007, and finally canceled by the Competition Authority in 2011.[14] With Canal+, the utilization of the card pairing (QEV) technology allowed access to many channels such as, Eurosport, Paris Premiere or LCI.[15]

This pay TV platform also served as the basis for many of its international equivalents, including in Spain (Canal Satélite Digital), Italy (Tele+ Digitale) and Poland (Cyfra+), mainly during the late 1990s and early 2000s, with these versions sharing similar decoding technology and set-top boxes.

Canal+ Luxembourg (former M7 Group)

Canal+ Luxembourg (former M7 Group) is a Luxembourg-based television provider which operates several direct broadcast satellite pay TV platforms: HD Austria in Austria, Télésat in Belgium and Luxembourg, TV Vlaanderen in the Flanders region in Belgium, Skylink in Czech Republic and Slovakia, Canal Digitaal in the Netherlands, Focus Sat in Romania, and Direct One in Hungary. It also operates a terrestrial pay television platform in Flanders, Belgium and offers B2B multimedia services. Canal+ acquired M7 Group for 1.1 billion euros on 12 September 2019.[16][17]

Thema

Thema is a Canal+ Group company that oversees distribution of Pay TV services in various countries, and is the parent company of channels including Novelas TV and Nollywood TV. Thema was founded in 2005 by François Thiellet, and acquired by Canal+ in 2014.[18]

International versions

As Canal+ was launched in new markets the brand has been used in several countries. When launching additional channels the channels were usually given colour-coded names, such as Canal+ Blue, Canal+ Green, Canal+ Yellow and Canal+ Red. Many of these subsidiaries have been sold and as of 2016, only the Polish Canal+ is partially owned by French Canal+.
