The TF1, M6 and France Télévisions groups have been announcing for more than two years the creation of the Salto project, a streaming platform shared by the three TV groups.

The project is expected to be launched very soon.

It has been nicknamed the "French Netflix".

The Salto streaming platform, which will bring together the content of the TF1, M6 and France Télévisions groups, should arrive, according to Les Echos, as early as next week.

The project was made public more than two years ago.

Two price offers

According to the newspaper, Salto should be available from October 20, next Tuesday.

The platform will make it possible to see or review all the programs of the three groups at its head, but also other channels.

With one priority: French fiction.

A press conference scheduled for October 15 is expected to reveal the platform's pricing.

It is a priori question that there are two offers: a very cheap, and a little more expensive which would give access to an extended catalog, and in particular undoubtedly to the original Salto creations.

No preferential regime

The CSA and the Competition Authority have set fairly strict conditions for the creation of Salto.

The platform will have to pay full price for its ads on the channels of TF1, France Télévisions and M6, at the origin of its creation.

No preferential rate.

Enough to ensure that the French streaming service will not be unfairly advantaged.

At the risk of making his life quite difficult against Netflix, Apple TV + or Amazon Prime.

Another requirement for Salto is that the streaming service cannot offer more than 40% of content acquired exclusively by the TF1, France Télé or M6 groups.

Nor will it necessarily be able to offer the same programs under the same conditions.

Salto will therefore have to develop his own fictions.

Good news for series fans.
