TF1 Plus: the new French streaming platform
The private channel launches solo on the market after the failure of Salto.
Say goodbye to MyTF1. The group’s platform will transform into a real streaming platform. So, it adds something more to its original name. In the vein of Disney +, Paramount + and other Apple TV + (without even mentioning the historic Canal +), we will soon have TF1 + on our sets.
What launch date for TF1 +?
During an interview with Le Figaro, boss Rodolphe Belmer announced that the platform would go online from January 8, 2024.
What price for TF1 +?
As MyTF1, this streaming platform aims to be free. It will be distributed on Orange boxes, as well as SFR, Bouygues Telecom and on the majority of connected televisions. The service will be financed by targeted advertising.
What programs on TF1 +?
Firstly, catch-up programs, around 30 days after their initial broadcast (and sometimes for 4 years), compared to 7 days today. But also old seasons of TF1 series and shows (like Koh Lanta Or The Voice). The group promises 200 family films, 200 series, as well as the first on-demand information offering, Top Info, with in-depth reports in 3 to 6 minute formats produced by the TF1 editorial team. Rodolphe Belmer mentions exclusive content, without specifying whether there will ultimately be original productions. In any case we will find More Beautiful Life, Even More Beautifulthe new series adapted from the France 3 soap opera, which will be broadcast live after the 1 p.m. news every day, and also available on TF1 +.
