Canal+, media and entertainment company, and Sharp Consumer Electronics have announced a new strategic partnership. This collaboration aims to enhance the user experience on Sharp Smart TVs running the TiVo operating system by bringing the Canal+ App to the platform and providing access to Canal+’s content offering, including premium sports, movies and series.

In all European markets where Canal+ operates – including France, Poland, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Belgium and Romania – the Canal+ App will now be pre-installed on all Sharp Smart TVs ‘Powered by TiVo’. To enable seamless and instant access to the Canal+ App, a dedicated Canal+ button will also be integrated into the remote controls of Sharp devices.

This collaboration underscores all three companies’ commitment to providing European consumers with seamless access to first-class entertainment and state-of-the-art technology.

Witalis Korecki, CEO Sharp Europe, commented: “We are delighted to be working with Canal+. This partnership will enable Sharp customers to access CANAL+’s world-class entertainment content easily and intuitively from the moment they turn on their TV. Our goal is to provide technology that enriches everyday life, and the integration of Canal+ on our TiVo-based devices is a significant step in that direction.”

Philippe Schwerer, EVP Industrial Partnerships & New Business, Canal+, said: “Our partnership with Sharp reflects our ambition to further strengthen our presence in the smart TV market and make our unique entertainment offering as accessible as possible to our 18.3 million subscribers across Europe. By pre-installing the Canal+ App and integrating a dedicated button on the remote control, we are making it easier than ever for our subscribers to enjoy our exclusive content on Sharp’s high-quality screens.”

Gabriel Cosgrave, SVP Global Sales & Revenue at TiVo, added: “TiVo is focused on making it easier for viewers to find the content they love with a personalised, content-first experience that helps them spend less time searching and more time watching. Bringing the Canal+ App to Sharp Smart TVs Powered by TiVo gives customers across Europe faster access to premium local and international entertainment, from movies and series to live sports, all in one place.”
