The new measures containment announced in France limit outings to the strict minimum for at least two weeks. Pending an improvement in the situation, the group Canal + and the operator’s TV subscribers Orange will be able to enjoy many free channels for a few weeks.

Orange and Canal +: What are the free channels during the confinement period?

Canal + and Orange take part in collective efforts to halt the spread of Covid-19 in France. Maxime Saada, chairman of the Canal + Group executive board, announced that the Canal + channel would be free in a tweet with the group’s logo in national colors. All those who have TV access via the box of their Internet access providers will be able to enjoy the free-to-air channel until April 15. The group does not forget its subscribers who will benefit from all the cinema, series, youth and documentary channels including OCS, Ciné +, Serieclub, Disney Channel, Planète +, Eurosport, etc. Netflix unfortunately remains chargeable, and we will have to wait March 24 to take advantage of the Disney + catalog. Logically, the offer should also be valid on the MyCanal app.

Orange, on the other hand, is a little less generous with an offer reserved for its TV subscribers. Until March 31, they will have free access to the youth channels Boomerang, Boing, Tiji, Canal J and Toonami, as well as the cinema channels OCS MAX, OCS City, OCS Choc and OCS Géants.

These announcements are rather surprising, especially from Orange. When ISPs Prepare To Limit Entertainment Speed ​​For Telework, the operator promotes access to its streaming programs, particularly bandwidth-consuming content.
