France’s TF1, which owns the country’s most popular free-to-air TV network, is expanding its free streaming platform to other parts of Europe and Africa in a bid to increase its online ad business.
TF1+, which hosts 15,000 hours of shows and films, will begin the rollout in Belgium and Luxembourg in June, the company said on Thursday. The company will then expand to French-speaking African countries, starting with North Africa, and could later add more countries, including Canada, in the next 18 months, it said.
