Ever since the French broadcaster made an entry to Africa. They've made a name for themselves after acquiring Nigeria's ROK and IROKO Studios even maintaining a 70% stake in Dizi and FilmBox's parent company SPI InternationaI .
The thing that intrigued the media mostly about Canal+ is their objective with MultiChoice. They currently own a 15% stake and attempted to acquire their African counterpart several years back.
It doesn't look like they're ready to back down as they've slowly been obtaining a portion of the brand. With their current stake they've managed to get 1Magic alongside several DStv channels to their own platform in various regions.
Seeing that Canal+ cater for French speaking territories it only seems logical for there to be a lack of channels or at least in markets that aren't familiar with this group.
Through a private website you have a file for a channel owned by Canal+ titled "A+ Afrique Test". It may seem like nothing but "test" could imply anything at this point.
There's not much Canal+ on DStv aside from the three ROK channels. Its possible that the 15% puts them at a disadvantage so if they'll likely be fortunate once acquiring more shares.
