CANAL+ published a new service plan on the night of November 18 to 19. There are many changes on the menu for subscribers.
For this new CANAL+ service plan, you will be entitled to numerous changes with launches, shutdowns and even name modifications.
Launches
Two new channels are launched on CANAL+. These are themes from France Télévisions with France TV Docs as well as France TV Séries.
The availability of these channels is quite wide with support for PC/Mac, iOS and Android, Apple TV, Vision OS, Chromecast, Connected TVs, Xbox and Playstation.
Android TVs are also affected but they are not available on Freebox Pop, Bbox Android from Bouygues Telecom or SFR Connect TV.
