Canal+ has announced a new distribution agreement for Eurosport in France and Switzerland.
The prospect of the Warner Bros Discovery channel being dropped from the platform was close after Canal announced Eurosport would be withdrawn from Thursday. However, the linear channels continued to be broadcast, suggesting a deal was close.
In a statement, Canal said the renewal was “part of the strategic partnership between Canal+ and its long-standing partner Warner Bros Discovery”.
It follows the January 2024 signing of a multi-year agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery making Canal the only subscription service in France to be able to broadcast Warner Bros. Pictures films only six months after their theatrical release in France.
Since June 11, 2024 WBD streaming service Max has also been part of Canal’s offer in France.
