Canal+ SA, spun off from Vivendi in 2024, is a major international media conglomerate headquartered in France. The company's core business is pay-television broadcasting and distribution, operating the flagship Canal+ premium channels alongside free-to-air networks. It aggregates and distributes third-party content, including exclusive sports rights and international streaming services, through its satellite and digital platforms (such as myCanal). Geographically, Canal+ has a strong presence in Europe (particularly France and Poland) and is a dominant pay-TV provider in Africa, a position bolstered by its acquisition of South Africa's MultiChoice. In addition to broadcasting, Canal+ operates StudioCanal, a leading European film and television production and distribution studio, and owns the video-sharing platform Dailymotion. Revenue is primarily generated from subscription fees, which account for the vast majority of its income, supplemented by advertising sales and content licensing.
