FULLY HYBRID TV OFFERING

The rapid growth of M7 Group is driven by successfully converting millions of free-TV viewers into recurring Pay-TV subscribers. The model provides subscribers with an attractive range of additional TV services at a highly competitive market price. The hybrid TV offering includes key channels as well as film and sports content in state-of–the-art HD quality and innovative interactive services such as restart, replay and on demand TV viewing. Moreover, the linear TV offer is increasingly complemented with a wide range of VOD services, benefiting from the rich library of films and series of parent company Canal+ and its StudioCanal studio.

All content is accessible via any device via a cutting-edge OTT app, available for all subscribers. Furthermore, an innovative smart TV app, developed in cooperation with leading TV manufacturers Samsung, LG and Vestel, allows M7 subscribers to enjoy content via the main TV screen and without the need for a traditional set-top box. Having started as a satellite TV operator,M7 has now become a platform-agnostic TV provider, adding IPTV, DTT and OTT as content delivery solutions where that best fits the preferred local way of TV consumption.

NEW REVENUE STREAMS FOR BROADCASTERS

Both the conversion of free-TV viewers into recurring Pay-TV subscribers as well as the hybrid TV app provide broadcasters with an opportunity to create new revenue streams and new ways to protect their viewing shares, in a fast changing market where TV advertising revenues are under growing pressure.
