Canal+ added an additional 654,000 subscribers in 2018, but its subscriber base in France itself continues to erode.
In financial statements published by parent company Vivendi, the pay-TV firm closed 2018 with 16.2 million subscribers.
Revenues of €5,166 remained stable when compared to 2017.
Revenues from television operations in mainland France decreased slightly due to the decline in the individual subscriber base (7.8 million, compared to 8.1 million at the end of December 2017), including wholesale subscriptions.
This decline was due in particular to the drop in Canalplay’s subscriber base and the termination of the Canalsat offer in favour of the new Canal offers and subscriptions via wholesale partnerships with telecom operators.
