Netgem announces its partnership with France Channels as part of the launch of its SVOD platform on the American market. This generalist and premium offer aims for the first time to promote French audiovisual creation abroad on a single destination thanks to a wide and diversified programming covering all genres: cinema, fiction, animation, documentaries, TV magazines and recordings of live shows.
Under the "France Channel" brand, the offer will be launched initially in the United States, and will then be rolled out to other countries. In this context, Netgem will provide an integrated technical solution in SaaS (as a service) and multi-screen mode. This solution is based on the multi-screen platform deployed for the myVIDEOFUTUR service in France and for NetgemTV in the United Kingdom.
