Content from Canal+ Group and subsidiary M7 will be available on Philips Smart TVs following an agreement between the Vivendi unit and Barcelona-based technology and advertising company Titan OS.
The agreement encompasses ten European territories, including France, Belgium, Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania. In addition to Canal+ itself Skylink, Direct One, Focus Sat, TV Vlaanderen, and Télésat will also be available.
Canal+ Group applications will come pre-installed on the Titan OS Home Page, giving Canal+ Group subscribers seamless access to top-tier sports, movies, and series content. Subscribers can explore their package’s full content library within Canal+ and discover their favorite videos, including third-party applications.
Jacinto Roca, CEO at Titan OS, said: “Our mission is to enhance the TV experience by connecting viewers with beloved content. This launch strengthens our premium content proposition in Europe. By simplifying content discovery, we not only enrich the viewing experience but also create more effective monetization opportunities for our content partners.”
Philippe Schwerer, EVP Industrial Partnerships & New Business at Canal+ Group, added: “We are delighted to announce this collaboration with Titan OS. The simultaneous rollout across ten territories reflects Canal+ Group’s global expansion acceleration. Access to Canal+ content and bundles will be smoother than ever on Titan OS-powered TVs, including Philips Smart TVs.”
Titan OS, already installed on 2023 and 2024 Philips Linux Smart TV devices, will soon be extended earlier models through an automatic software update. This move ensures that new audiences across Europe can access the content offerings from Canal+ Group and M7 Group seamlessly.
Additionally, French audiences will find a branded Canal+ button on the remote controls of Philips Titan OS TVs.
