MultiChoice, a CANAL+ company, has retained the distribution rights to 12 Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) thematic channels following a new multi-year, multi-territory agreement between CANAL+ Group and Warner Bros. Discovery.
Multichoice disclosed this in a statement on Friday, noting that the agreement spans several regions across Africa and Europe and also covers the distribution of HBO Max alongside the renewal of selected WBD channels.
The development marks a significant expansion of the long-standing partnership between CANAL+ Group and Warner Bros. Discovery, strengthening content offerings across MultiChoice Group territories.
MultiChoice stated that the new agreement builds on earlier partnerships concluded in Europe, reinforcing collaboration across multiple markets.
“It builds on the landmark agreements concluded in France in 2024, including the renewal of the exclusive pay-TV window for Warner Bros. Pictures films just six months after their theatrical release in France and the integration of HBO Max within select CANAL+ group offers…” the company said.
It added that the agreement also builds on a previous agreement signed in Poland in 2025, with the renewal of the distribution agreement for 22 thematic channels (including TVN 24 and Eurosport) and 4 free-to-air channels (including TVN).
