French media group Canal+ is considering deploying its streaming app to customers of South African pay-TV operator MultiChoice Group, following its acquisition of the company late last year.
The Canal+ streaming app aggregates content through partnerships with platforms including Apple TV and Warner Bros Discovery’s HBO Max, potentially allowing MultiChoice subscribers to access multiple services through a single interface.
“All of the content is embedded on the Canal+ app, and as a user you do not have to go on another app,” Canal+ Chief Financial Officer Amandine Ferre said in an interview on Thursday.

MultiChoice is a part-owner of streaming service Showmax, alongside Comcast Corp, and operates primarily in southern and eastern Africa, as well as Nigeria and Ghana.
