TF1 GROUP REACTION TO THE CANAL + GROUP'S DECISION TO CEASE DISTRIBUTING TF1 CHANNES AND SERVICES

The TF1 group takes note of the Canal+ group's decision to cease the distribution of its channels and services by the Canal+ group and strongly regrets it.

Even though TF1 group content is distributed by all the distributors (FREE, SFR, Bouygues Telecom, Orange, Molotov and Salto), Canal+ did not wish to enter into a new distribution agreement for the TF1 group’s channels and services despite weeks of discussions and negotiations, instead preferring to deprive Canal+ subscribers of channels and services which they have paid for as part of their subscription.

The TF1 group remains open to further discussions with a view to reaching a swift resolution, to avoid further penalising the millions of viewers who receive the Group’s channels via
Canal+.

The TF1 group would also reiterate that viewers can find its channels live and in catch-up on MyTF1.fr, and via the MyTF1 app on mobiles and tablets. The channels also remain available on DTT, and via all other distributors.
