Netgem on Friday announced a partnership with France Channel for the upcoming launch of the first SVOD service for French original programming, starting with the US market in the coming months.
The offering follows a similar model as BritBox for British content, where the France Channel premium offering will promote French original programming abroad. The new service brings togetherin a single place a wide range of programmes covering movies, TV series & drama, animation, documentaries, and TV shows.
