CANAL+ AND APPLE STRENGTHEN THEIR PARTNERSHIP WITH A NEW APPLE MUSIC OFFER FOR CANAL+ SUBSCRIBERS

-30% OFF THE APPLE MUSIC SUBSCRIPTION FOR ALL CANAL+ SUBSCRIBERS

CANAL+ and Apple are delighted to announce that their strategic partnership is being further strengthened with a new Apple Music offer, available to CANAL+ subscribers in mainland France, starting December 12. This offer is a first of its kind.

Subscribers with a paid subscription to CANAL+ in mainland France can now enjoy an individual subscription to Apple Music at the price of €7.69/month instead of €10.99, a reduction of 30% compared to the public price charged by Apple.

Today, the award-winning Apple Music celebrates musicians, songwriters, producers, and fans with a catalog of over 100 million songs, expertly curated playlists, and the best artist interviews, conversations, and global premieres with Apple Music Radio. With original content from the most respected and beloved people in music, autoplay, time-sync lyrics, Lossless Audio, and immersive sound powered by Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, Apple Music offers the world’s best listening experience.

This new agreement makes it possible:

  • On the one hand, to go even further in the historic multi-year, multi-territory partnership between CANAL+ and Apple: since April 2023, all CANAL+ offerings have been enriched with access to the Apple TV+ service (in France, Switzerland, Czech Republic and Slovakia). This agreement already contained two world firsts for Apple: the Apple TV+ service can be viewed directly within the CANAL+ platform and select Apple Original series are broadcast on CANAL+ linear channel during the term of the agreement;

  • On the other hand, to help CANAL+ progress further in its transformation into a true aggregator of cultural content, as well as aggregating the best video content on the market, to the delight of its subscribers.

To announce its new partnership with Apple Music, CANAL+ will launch a national poster advertising campaign designed by BETC, consisting of three visuals. Scheduled to run from 13 to 24 December, it will reach more than 393 million contacts. This campaign will also be deployed in the press.
