Published by Statista Research Department, Sep 23, 2022

In an effort to counter streaming giants such as Netflix, French free-to-air TV channels TF1, M6 and France TV have decided to found a jointly-owned SVOD company called SALTO. Since then, the number of TV series produced by each channel has dropped sharply in favor of series launched on this new platform. In 2021, nine new series have premiered on SALTO, while TF1 and M6 premiered one and two series respectively.
