LG and Canal+ Group Expand Partnership for Global Distribution of Canal+ Apps on webOS

LG Electronics and Canal+ Group have announced a renewed and strengthened global partnership for the distribution of Canal+ Group applications on webOS. The partnership covers over 40 territories, significantly expanding the reach of Canal+ content.

This partnership includes a renewal of the existing partnership for the Canal+ brands in France, Poland, Switzerland, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, and Myanmar. It also includes the upcoming launch of the Canal+ App on LG TVs in French Overseas territories and more than 25 French-speaking African territories.

In addition to the Canal+ brands, the partnership also extends to 6 other brands belonging to Canal+ Group, including K+ in Vietnam, Skylink in Czech Republic and Slovakia, Direct One in Hungary, Focus Sat in Romania, TV Vlaanderen and Télésat in Belgium. This broadens the availability of Canal+ content to a wider audience across the globe.

The Canal+ Group applications will be available on LG Smart TVs running webOS 4.0 and above (webOS 5.0 for French-speaking Africa and French Overseas territories). The apps will also be available on other LG screens, such as projectors, providing easy access to Canal+ content on the go.

Subscribers to Canal+ will be able to log-in to access their full Canal+ offer with just one click, giving them immediate access to their favorite sports, movies, and series.

“We are pleased to extend our partnership with LG across all our territories, underscoring the acceleration of Canal+ Group global expansion,” said Philippe Schwerer, EVP Industrial Partnerships & New Business at Canal+ Group. “With this partnership, accessing to all Canal+ content and bundles has never been so easy on webOS.”

“LG has been committed to offering relevant services across regions and for various audiences,” said Chris Jo, senior vice president of platform business at LG Home Entertainment Company. “With LG webOS users having now access to a wide offer of CANAL+ group apps, including Canal+ premium service, we are confident our partnership with Canal+ will be strengthened.”
