Salto, the French television groups’ joint streaming platform, launches on 20 October.
For €6.99 per month, French families can access more than 10,000 hours of streamed programmes in a wide variety of genres, spanning films, series, drama, documentaries, youth programmes, reality TV, magazine shows, round-the-clock live news, and sport - a unique model in the continental European audio-visual landscape.
Salto gets rid of television programming limitations. On salto.fr, French families can watch their favourite French TV programmes streamed anytime. Complete new seasons are already exclusively available on Salto.
Daily soap fans will be delighted: after watching an episode of their favourite series, they can watch the next two episodes on salto.fr - before they are broadcast on TV.
Those who cannot wait for the launch of the new seasons of Fargo or Manifest in France can watch them the day after they are broadcast in the United-States, exclusively on Salto. Rare gems of series from Quebec, Spain, the United-States, Switzerland, Belgium, Scandinavia, Israel and many more countries will also be available on Salto. Brand-new French drama will also premier exclusively on Salto.fr.
Salto subscribers will get programme recommendations from a dedicated editorial team that knows the content they like, rather than algorithms. French families can choose what they watch according to their mood or even their horoscope, whether it is the next episode of a daily soap, a foreign comedy, or a socially-aware documentary. This extra touch makes a big difference!
On Salto, everyone has their own profile, and will find something to suit all tastes, for all generations. Subscribers can access specific profiles for watching with others, whether it is a romantic evening for two, a family night in front of the TV, a binge-watching session with friends, an evening for the boys or early morning programmes for the children.
