Canal+ signs five-year content deal with HBO


French free-to-air (FTA) and pay-TV group Canal+ has signed a five-year content deal with HBO encompassing all HBO's TV series.
The agreement covers all Canal+ Group channels, including premium channels, themes networks and FTA channels.
Canal+ subscribers, as well as viewers of the free DTT channels D8 and D17 will now be able to watch all new HBO series like Game of Thrones, Girls and The Newsroom repeated on pay-TV channels or on their first airing on FTA channels. The first pay-TV broadcast is still held by Orange after HBO's first-look deal with OCS was renewed last January.
Canal+ Group will provide linear and on-demand offerings on all devices including connected TVs, smartphones, tablets and game consoles.
