<>
According to Megazap, the deployment relies on subscribers possessing a 4K decoder of the latest generation to access the updated tier automatically.
Expanding Entertainment and Regional Diversity
The operator’s roster now includes Chérie 25, a general-interest channel focusing on women’s programming, series, magazines, films, and documentaries originating from the NRJ group and currently undergoing acquisition by CMA Média, as reported by Megazap. Fans of Japanese animation gain access to Mangas, a Mediawan-owned channel featuring classic titles such as Saint Seiya, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, Ranma ½, and Fullmetal Alchemist.
Regional ties across the Indian Ocean strengthen through the addition of four Malagasy channels: TVM 2, Real TV, Malagasy TV, and Free TV. These networks provide local productions, musical programs, and news broadcasts in the Malagasy language.
Complementing the linear additions, Canal+ Réunion introduces Explore, a subscription video-on-demand service dedicated to contemporary documentary filmmaking. According to Megazap, Explore covers topics spanning climate science, human rights, geopolitical innovation, and cultural trends without extra fees for qualifying subscribers.
Cinematic and sports programming anchors the core schedule for the upcoming months. Exclusif.re notes that box-office titles including Minecraft, Dragons, Mickey 17, F1, and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning will roll out between November and January. Charles Lauret, communications officer cited by Exclusif.re, emphasizes the network’s live sports catalog: “Canal+ demeure la référence du sport en direct, offrant une couverture complète des plus grandes compétitions internationales.” The lineup features UEFA club competitions, Premier League matches paired with a new weekly multiplex, Top 14 rugby, Formula 1, MotoGP, WRC, IndyCar, and golf.
