A groundbreaking new streaming service called Salto has launched in France, born from a collaboration among three powerhouse broadcasters: public channel France Télévisions and commercial giants TF1 and M6.
After years in development—delayed by French regulatory hurdles and licensing talks—Salto delivers premium French content like Tomorrow Belongs to Us and Ma vie de Courgette, plus international favorites such as the UK series Quiz and U.S. drama The Handmaid's Tale.
In addition to on-demand videos, it streams live TV from 19 channels.
Salto hooks viewers with premieres days ahead of TV airings, including a new take on Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None.
Unlike the ad-filled catch-up apps from France Télévisions, M6, and TF1, Salto unites their libraries—plus extras—in one seamless, ad-free experience.
Launch lineup boasts over 10,000 hours of series, films, and docs. ScreenDaily notes expansion to 15,000 hours in 2021 with Salto originals.
Test it with a 30-day free trial—cancel anytime with one click, or auto-renew to paid.
Tiers by simultaneous streams: €6.99/month (1 screen), €9.99 (2 screens), €12.99 (4 screens).
Access on web browsers, smartphones, tablets, or smart TVs.
Can this all-in-one, ad-free hub win subscribers? Targets remain under wraps.
Not France's first: CanalPlay debuted in 2011, later evolving into myCanal.
BritBox mirrors the model for UK TV, both exporting top local shows globally.
